Key starter to return for Liverpool – Ancelotti confirms

Ancelotti Provides Injury Update Ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League Clash with Liverpool

Carlo Ancelotti has shared a crucial update as Real Madrid prepares to face Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. The defending champions are set to take on Premier League leaders at Anfield on November 27 in what promises to be an exciting showdown.

Real Madrid recently secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Leganes in La Liga, narrowing the title gap with Barcelona to just four points. Despite the positive momentum from the derby win, Ancelotti is facing a series of injury concerns as the team gears up for their trip to Merseyside.

Following the match against Leganes, Ancelotti confirmed that decisions regarding Lucas Vazquez and Aurelien Tchouameni’s availability will be made closer to the Liverpool game, as both players missed the previous fixture.

In a tactical adjustment, Fran Garcia filled in at left back, with regular starter Ferland Mendy absent from the squad. Ancelotti explained that Mendy’s absence was a strategic choice, emphasizing that the French defender will be ready to play against Liverpool.

According to quotes from Marca, Ancelotti stated, “Mendy’s absence was a technical decision. Fran is performing well, but Ferland will be a key player on Wednesday.”
