Real Madrid rotates squad for Villarreal match

Real Madrid will face Villarreal in La Liga after a demanding derby against Atletico. Coach Carlo Ancelotti plans to rotate the squad, with Brahim Diaz starting and Endrick likely to play. Ferland Mendy is injured, so Fran Garcia will replace him at left-back. Vinicius Jr. missed training and may not play, while Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham are expected to start. Brahim Diaz has performed well this season, scoring six goals and providing seven assists. Endrick, who has had limited playing time, is anticipated to receive more minutes due to the team's fatigue.
