Luka Modric - 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.
