The return of Eden Hazard and the Castilla striker Álvaro Rodríguez are the novelties of Real Madrid's squad to face Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

After confirming the withdrawal of the sanction to the Brazilian Vinicius for his expulsion in Mestalla, it remains to be seen if the player finally enters Carlo Ancelotti's squad. The Brazilian did not train with the team this Wednesday due to slight discomfort in one knee.

On the other hand, Ancelotti recovers this time Hazard, low in Valencia, and due to the absence of Mariano, he goes back to the youth academy to recover the Uruguayan striker Álvaro Rodríguez, whose last appearance with the first team was on the 2nd of May against Real Sociedad.

The match has little game for Real Madrid, beyond trying to snatch second place from Atlético de Madrid.

"The fact of having lost two games makes them more dangerous. We know them, we have to make them worry too and for the game to go in two directions. It will be difficult to match them in terms of possession and arrivals. We must try to make them have to run behind , that they don't have to attack with everything. It will be difficult", confessed the Rayo Vallecano coach, Andoni Iraola.

Rayo Vallecano have only won once in their twenty visits to the Santiago Bernabéu, that was in 1996. However, Rayo Vallecano this year visits the white club in a comfortable position in La Liga. He defends the eleventh place, with 46 points, looking more to Europe than to the relegation places as on previous occasions.

The Competition Committee has finally sanctioned Valencia CF with the partial closure of the Mestalla stadium for five games due to the racist insults received by Vinicius last Sunday. In addition, the Committee also leaves without disciplinary effects the expulsion of Vinicius, as requested by Real Madrid in its brief of allegations.

Competition "considers proven that the referee's assessment was determined by the omission of the entire event that occurred, which vitiated the arbitration decision. Indeed, the fact that a determining part of the facts was stolen led him to adopt an arbitrary decision," he concludes.

The Real Madrid match against Rayo Vallecano, belonging to matchday 36 of LaLiga Santander, takes place this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

The meeting can be followed on television through Movistar.
