Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is finally in the Real Madrid team for his long-awaited debut.

However, he is in from the start against Leganés on Saturday evening.

There are two more changes from the team that beat Girona 4-1 last weekend, with World Cup finalists Raphaël Varane and Luka Modrić replacing Nacho and Isco respectively.

It’s the first start of the season for Modrić, who had featured as a sub in Madrid’s two LaLiga games and was crowned Uefa’s Player of the 2017/18 Season on Thursday.
