Lucas Silva all set for his debut

REAL NEW BOY COULD FEATURE AGAINST DEPORTIVO

It should be fourth time lucky, and barring any last-minute developments, Lucas Silva will make his Real Madrid debut this Saturday. The Brazilian has spent the last 20 days training alongside his teammates at Valdebebas, but his first-team debut has been continuously put off over the past couple of weeks due to the club's delicate situation. A lack of match fitness ruled him out against Real Sociedad. Against Sevilla, it was injuries and a very tight scoreline, whilst the 4-0 derby defeat to Atlético just was not a good day. Following Wednesday's tests, Illarra looks likely to start this weekend's game, but Carlo Ancelotti aims to give Lucas some playing time after the break.
