Modric to the rescue

Ancelotti recovers Modric for the match against Elche after the team’s stumble against Osasuna at the Bernabéu. After having summoned the Croatian, the Italian coach took him off the list against all odds on the same day of the match against the rojillo team. In any case, I did not intend for him to play from the beginning … another thing is that the participation of the Croatian would have been necessary in the second half …

With Modric, Ancelotti recovers the trivote of the three consecutive Champions League (the Croatian together with Casemiro and Kroos) for the trip to Elche. They could already play together in the two resounding victories against Shakhtar and Barcelona. Vinicius and Benzema will repeat at the top (18 goals between the two in this course) and Rodrygo will be with them, a trident formed over the course of the matches and which has become a starter for the Italian.

Training on Thursday morning was recovery for the players who played against Osasuna. Modric was confirmed to have no physical problems, and Ceballos and Bale they continued taking steps for their definitive recovery. Both are close to being available again. In addition to them, two are part of the Valverde infirmary, who sprained his knee in the Classical. Isco, with previous neck and back discomfort, did train.
