Karim Benzema ruled out of Real Madrid vs Sevilla (90min)

Real Madrid confirm Karim Benzema will be rested for the upcoming games against ...

They host a Sevilla side currently languishing in mid-table, having recently sacked manager Julen Lopetegui. However, Rodrygo's form and status as a favourite of Ancelotti makes him the most obvious choice to replace Benzema. The absence of Benzema raises questions over who will slot in as the central striker for Carlo Ancelotti's side against Sevilla.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla live online: score, stats and updates, LaLiga ... (AS English)

Before we get going, if you're looking for a place where you can watch the game (and why wouldn't you be?), then look no further! Here's all the info you need.

It'll be interesting to see how Sevilla intend to line-up though, with no recognised striker in the team for a second away game in succession. Of course, Benzema and Courtois have been in the news for other reasons this week. This Madrid side are not the kind you want to be giving too much of a head-start... I went to a game between Spain and Italy at the Bernabéu in 2017 and Isco was absolutely unbelievable that night. This is a good chance for Sevilla from the free-kick! Unsurprisingly, considering Sampaoli is in charge, Sevilla have been trying to play the ball out from the back at every opportunity. They work it to Modric, who cleverly makes space for a shot in the box, which is blocked by Telles at the last second. Montiel, despite his defensive struggles, has got forward on a couple of occasions and is the first visiting player to trouble Courtois. Rodrygo goes down in the box and (the fans) want a penalty. One touch and hit from the edge of the box, it whistles into the corner. That changed the complexion of the game for 15-20 minutes or so, with Sevilla gaining the upper hand and threatening the home goal on a few occasions. Other teams would lost their composure after conceding and Real Madrid were on the back foot for a spell.
