Real Madrid faces lineup changes for Champions League opener against Inter

Real Madrid prepares for its upcoming Champions League match against Inter Milan with three key players suspended. Arda Güler, Bernardo Silva, and Eduardo Camavinga are all unavailable due to cards received during last season's European competition. Head coach José Mourinho must now adjust his midfield strategy for the opening game of the tournament. Aurelien Tchouameni remains a potential option for the double pivot if he recovers from an injury, though he has not yet rejoined training with the team. Alternative tactical plans include shifting Jude Bellingham to the double pivot or utilizing Brahim, Diomandé, Vinicius, and Mbappé in the attacking rotation. Trent Alexander-Arnold has also been identified as an unorthodox possibility for the squad as the team navigates these personnel gaps.
