Latest Kairat vs Real Madrid team information
Kairat is without strikers Elder Santana and Joao Paulo due to anterior cruciate ligament injuries, leaving them out of the group stage squad. Goalkeeper Temirlan Anarbekov and midfielder Giorgi Zaria are also absent, while Alexandr Zarutskiy is doubtful. If Zarutskiy does not recover in time, 18-year-old goalkeeper Serkhan Kalmurza will continue to start against the 15-time European champions.
Up front, young talent Dastan Satpaev is likely to start, after scoring in two of the last three matches.
For Real Madrid, experienced right-back Dani Carvajal is out for about a month due to a calf injury sustained in the derby. Eder Militao also had to leave the field due to injury in that match and was not included in the squad.
In addition, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy have not recovered, leaving Alonso in a defensive crisis. He is likely to keep the same quartet that started in the 4-1 win over Levante on September 23, with Raul Asencio and Fran Garcia at full-back, and Alvaro Carreras at centre-back.
Up front, Franco Mastantuono is competing for a place back in the starting line-up, which could see Jude Bellingham relegated to the bench after making his return to the starting line-up last weekend at the Club World Cup.

Latest Kairat vs Real Madrid football review
Kairat Almaty are in the Champions League group stage for the first time after successfully qualifying.
They defeated Olimpija Ljubljana, KuPs and Slovan Bratislava in turn, before overcoming Scottish champions Celtic in the deciding penalty shootout.
However, the Kazakhstan Premier League champions were quickly dealt a blow in their opening game against Sporting Lisbon, where Edmilson scored a consolation goal in a 4-1 defeat.
Rafael Urazbakhtin’s side then managed to find the joy of winning in the domestic league when they beat Zhenis 3-1 on September 22, and they have not played another match since. Thanks to that, Kairat will be in full fitness to prepare for the ultimate challenge against Real Madrid.
This second leg match is also only the second time in Champions League history that Kazakhstan and Spain teams have met, since Astana faced Atletico Madrid in the 2015-16 season.
Kairat will hope to make things difficult for Real Madrid, building on their record of keeping clean sheets in all four home matches in qualifying.
Coach Xabi Alonso started his first season in charge of Real Madrid impressively, winning all seven of his first official matches, including a 2-1 victory over Marseille in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
Real then went on to beat Espanyol 2-0 and beat Levante 4-1, creating momentum for the Madrid derby with Atletico last weekend.
But the surprise happened when Real Madrid, despite leading 2-1 thanks to Kylian Mbappe and Arda Guler, collapsed and lost 2-5 to their city rivals.
That defeat cost Real the top spot in the table to Barcelona, who had just beaten Real Sociedad to move up by one point.
Real Madrid will turn the derby shock into motivation for their historic clash with Kairat. In the past, Los Blancos have won 24 of their 30 previous encounters with their new opponent in the C1/Champions League (D3 L3).
However, Real still need to improve their away form, because in the 2024-25 season they lacked stability with 3 wins and 4 losses in 7 away trips in Europe.
