3 Real Madrid players Jose Mourinho needs to bench after the international break

Writer Maximus Polek argues that Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho must bench Vinicius Junior, Denzel Dumfries, and Fede Valverde following the international break. The article notes that Real Madrid sits fourth in La Liga, six points behind Barcelona, having suffered defeats against Real Betis and Atletico Madrid.

Polek claims Vinicius Junior has struggled for form with just one goal in eight matches, while suggesting alternatives such as Brahim Diaz or Rodrygo. The writer also advocates for Trent Alexander-Arnold to replace Dumfries in defense and Eduardo Camavinga to take Valverde's place in midfield.
