Xabi Alonso is tweaking his lineup for the Levante clash, pushing Alvaro Carreras into an unfamiliar centre‑back slot. Dani Carvajal rests while Fran Garcia moves to left‑back, and Dean Huijsen returns after suspension. Midfield sees Dani Ceballos replace Aurelien Tchouameni, and the attack swaps Gonzalo Garcia for a trio of Mastantuono, Mbappé and Vinícius Jr. The changes aim to keep the squad fresh ahead of the Atletico derby and a tough trip to Kazakhstan, while the team still enjoys a perfect start to La Liga.
