Starting against Betis Modric (hamstring) is in the starting lineup to face Real Betis on Saturday.

Impact Modric returned to training earlier this week and was expected to return for this clash, so his presence in the starting lineup is not surprising, especially given Carlo Ancelotti's decision to play Rodrygo all alone upfront. As such, Modric will slot in central midfield, alongside Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde, in a 4-3-2-1 setting.

Set to return Saturday Modric (hamstring) has been seen training with the team and is expected to return for Saturday's clash with Real Betis.

Impact Modric had suffered from fatigue and muscle soreness to his hamstring that had kept him out the last two matches. However, looks to be that the midfielder could be ready for Saturday after returning to training. The likeliness of his starting is still to be determined as Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde will likely start in the defensive midfield, while Brahim Diaz could start again in the attacking midfield alongside Jude Bellingham against Real Betis.

Absent from squad Modric was left out of the match-day squad versus Napoli on Wednesday with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Modric has been an infrequent starter this season, featuring in just seven of his 16 appearances, and was an unused substitute twice. Still, the veteran midfielder has logged significant minutes, even as a substitute, so his absence will stretch the club's depth heading into Wednesday's tilt. Modric will have a short turnaround to get fit in time to face Granada on Saturday.

Creates seven chances Tuesday Modric generated four crosses (two accurate), seven chances created and five corners in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus SC Braga.

Impact Modric created a season-high seven chances Tuesday, his most in a match this season and more than in any match last season as well. It was just his fifth start of the season and his first time playing the full 90 minutes, as the Real Madrid midfield looks to be going in a much younger direction. It is unclear how much longer the 38-year-old will play at Real Madrid, but when he plays, he is still capable of elite performances like the one he put on Tuesday.

Impact Modric has taken just 23 percent of the team's corners in La Liga action but took half of the club's 16 corners versus Union Berlin. The midfielder has started just twice in six appearances this season but should see the bulk of the corner responsibilities when he does feature for the club.
