Isco Set To Deputise For Bale by baski92(m): 6:21am On Oct 21, 2014 |
Carlo Ancelotti will have to shuffle his pack after losing Gareth Bale through injury. The Welshman will miss Los Blancos' Champions League game against Liverpool as well as their league fixture against Barcelona. Isco Alarcón's recent performances for Real Madrid, like last weekend's against Levante appear to have earned him a chance to shine in the Champions League. The midfielder, who started at the Ciutat de Valencia, was one of Real Madrid's best players on the night, scoring Los Blancos' fifth goal of the game. Isco knows full well just how fierce competition is for places at the Bernabeu, but he has always been one of Carlo Ancelotti's preferred options. Bale's injury opens the door to him starting against Barcelona in a game that the whole world will be watching. The 22-year-old has started three league games for Real Madrid this season (Real Sociedad, Elche and Levante) and has stood out for his assists, having set up his teammates for four goals so far this campaign. Another point in Isco's favour is the excellent partnership he has struck up with James Rodríguez. The two of them showed at the Ciutat de Valencia just how well they can play together. Isco also tracks back to do his bit in defence and has racked up more than 10km in every game he has played.
