Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said he would field centre-back Antonio Rudiger from the early minutes against Sevilla in Week 26 of the Spanish League at the Santiago Bernabeu, Monday at 03.00 WIB tomorrow. Rudiger has missed four games in all competitions since suffering an injury in early February. “He is in very good condition, he is fully recovered. He will play from the start tomorrow and is delighted to see him again, Ancelotti said as reported by the club's official website via Antara, Sunday, February 25. Since being hit by the central defender crisis, including being left by Rudiger, Madrid has often put all the players in charge to fill that position, one of which is placing Aurelien Tchouameni. Ancelotti also praised the expertise of the young French player who played a very good center-back role. "“Tchouameni have done his job well in that position but Antonio's return will give us confidence," he said. On the same occasion, the Italian coach wanted El Real to pick up three points again and take advantage of his playing status as the host who received full support from Madridista. Three points will keep Madrid away from the pursuit of FC Barcelona's eternal rival who is now on five points, in second place in the standings with 57 points. In the last match itself, Madrid had to settle for just one point after playing the 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano at the Vallecas Stadium last week.

The “ Performance we have to show against Sevilla is what we've been doing all season long, we have to be a solid, hungry and motivated team. Sevilla is the team that will demand the best from us because they are in good form in the second half of the season, "” said Ancelotti. “ We need points to take advantage of the advantages we have. The team has worked well and we have time to prepare for the game, "” he said.
