Alonso settles on Mbappé's replacement against Betis
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has settled on a replacement for the French star Kylian Mbappé, who will be absent from the team for the upcoming period due to a knee injury.
Real Madrid will host Betis on Sunday evening in the eighteenth round of the Spanish league at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
According to several press reports, Alonso has decided to field Gonzalo Garcia as a central striker against Betis to compensate for Mbappé's absence, with Vinicius and Rodrygo positioned alongside him on the wings.
Mbappé's absence is not a trivial matter, given his remarkable numbers this season, having scored 29 goals in 24 matches—more than 50% of the team's goals—highlighting the significant impact of his absence on the attacking setup.
