Carlo Ancelotti has offered a key update ahead of Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League trip to Liverpool.
- The defending champions take on Arne Slot’s Premier League leaders in a mouth-watering clash on November 27 at Anfield.
- Los Blancos returned to La Liga action this weekend with a dominant 3-0 win away at Leganes, which closes the title gap on Barcelona to four points.
- However, despite the positivity over a derby win, Ancelotti faces a host of injury calls in the coming days before flying to Merseyside.
- Ancelotti confirmed after the game a late decision will be made on Lucas Vazquez and Aurelien Tchouameni after they missed out at Leganes.
- As part of a reshuffled defense, Fran Garcia completed 90 minutes at left back, with Ferland Mendy not involved.
- That call was based on tactics according to Ancelotti, as he assured fans the France international will be fit to start at Liverpool.
- “Mendy’s absence was a technical decision. Fran is playing very well, but Ferland will be very important on Wednesday,” as per quotes from Marca.
