Real Madrid-Écija teamsheet: Fabio Capello relying on youth teamers for King's Cup debut

Javi García, De la Red, Adán, Torres, Borja Valero, Negredo and Mateos. Seven Real Madrid youth team players who will be defending the Real Madrid shirt in the first King's Cup match of the season. Casillas, Roberto Carlos, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Raúl, Emerson, Guti and Van Nistelrooy have stayed in the Spanish capital to rest.

The King's Cup is finally here, and once again coach Fabio Capello has rotated the lineup for the first match of the knockout competition. The Madridista team that will debut tonight against Second Division B's Écija in the Round of 32 will more than likely have several variations to the squad that convincingly defeated Barcelona 2-0 on Sunday. The Italian boss has decided to rest Sunday's starters, so Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Roberto Carlos, Raúl, Emerson, Guti nor Van Nistelrooy will travel to Andalusia. Capello prefers to reserve them for Saturday's clash against Nástic in Tarragona and the crucial Champions League match against Steaua Bucharest on 1 November.

CAPELLO RELYING ON YOUTH

The First Team squad that has traveled to Écija is chalk full of youth team players. Torres, Borja Valero, Negredo and Mateos have joined the familiar faces of Javi García and Rubén de la Red, and more than one is all but guaranteed to see playing time in the town of San Pablo. First Team fixtures who made the trip include Diarra, Ronaldo, Robinho, Diego López, Raúl Bravo, Cassano, Reyes, Pavón, Beckham and Mejía.
