A surprising decision for Arbeloa ahead of El Clasico

In a surprise decision, Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa on Saturday confirmed Frenchman Aurelien Choumini’s starting line-up for Sunday’s El Clasico match against Barcelona, ​​despite the controversial events of recent days.

Arbeloa explained in a press conference that Chuamini will be part of the squad for the trip to Catalonia, a move that reflects the club’s desire to turn the page on the past and focus on the decisive clash.

On the other hand, Uruguayan Federico Valverde will not travel to Barcelona due to a head injury, as his recovery period is estimated to be 10 to 14 days, which deprives the royal team of one of the most popular elements in the crucial game.
