Carlo Ancelotti confirms double Real Madrid injury boost ahead of Atlético clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has on Friday confirmed a pair of timely personnel boosts in his squad.

This comes amid confirmation that both Eduardo Camavinga and Lucas Vázquez have been passed fit to play their respective parts against Atlético.

The latest edition of the Madrid Derby is of course set to play out on Saturday night.

The matchup marks a crucial one when it comes to the race for the La Liga title, with hosts Real in possession of a slender one-point advantage over their city rivals atop the table.

Safe to say, then, that all associated with Los Blancos will no doubt be delighted to hear of the latest injury news stemming from Valdebebas.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Friday, Carlo Ancelotti was asked for the latest personnel news in his squad.

And the Italian tactician went on to confirm that midfielder Eduardo Camavinga – who has missed several weeks with a muscular injury – and full-back Lucas Vázquez – who sat out in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday with a knock – are back available for selection:

“The line-up? We have no more doubts now. Camavinga and Lucas Vázquez will be available.”
