Real Madrid stands for a quick change for their Copa del Rey Quarter Final Clash in Leganes on 5 February.
Los Blancos looks at a victory at their local rivals, but Carlo Ancelotti is expected to be a rotated side in the south of Madrid.
This season Ancelotti has continued his criticism of a follow -up fixture scheme with more competitions that have now been added to the agenda.
By invading the last 16 play -offs of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid has to navigate through Manchester City through a fourth consecutive season, with legs at home and out.
Added to three extra journeys involved in going to Qatar and Saudi Aarabia Both sides of the beginning of 2025, the players of Ancelotti need a break, which will be in the Copa.
According to reports from Marca, Key Trio Thibaut Courtois, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe, all missed training today are today, and it is unlikely that they will start at Leganes.
Courtois could be fully given the night, with Andriy Lunin set up between the posts, but Bellingham and Mbappe can be kept on the couch in reserve.
Ancelotti's greater priority is a possible competition title of the league title against Atletico Madrid this weekend, and he wants his most important stars to fit, with Antonio Rudiger already excluded by injury.
David Alaba could get a first start in more than 13 months, because Rudiger's replacement by Ancelotti wants to test the capacities of the Austrian prior to that two battle with Pep Guardiola later this month.
Based on the victory over Celta Vigo in the previous round, Ancelotti was able to renew most of his team, despite his desire to win the competition.
The Italian has never won a La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League Treble, over two stints in Madrid, and despite the excessive amount of competitions, he wants to continue fighting on all fronts in 2025.
