Real Madrid starts a crunch -month in their campaign at home at Leganes in La Liga Action.
The side of Carlo Ancelotti is confronted at least eight games for the end of April, plus the potential for two, if they reach the Copa del Rey -Final and the Semi final of the UEFA Champions League.
Ancelotti repeated his worried point over the full schedule, but the experienced Italian coach admitted that there is little choice than to continue and prepare as well as possible.
The team to face Leganes includes a striking absentee in No. 1 Thibaut Courtois after being injured by the Belgian duty.
It was a mixed international comeback for Courtois, who missed three goals against Ukraine and then missed the return match due to injury.
Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal remain as absent in the long term with Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos to return.
Defender Jesus Vallejo is back in the team, after his recovery of an injury, with Andriy Lunin set up to cover Courtois, while the charges of Ancelotti want to accuse La Liga leaders Barcelona.
After the collision with Leganes host Real Madrid-Gastheer Real Sociedad in a Copa del Rey Semi Final Second-Leg and Valencia in League Action, before a Champions League trip to Arsenal on 8 April.
That collision with the Gunners has been reserved for a number of important return from Ancelotti and he confirmed that Mendy and Ceballos should be ready earlier with Courtois.
“The absence of Courtois is only a small problem, and we try to get Ceballos and Mendy back for the first stage against Arsenal,” according to quotes from Marca.
Ancelotti will make a late call on the availability of Courtois to face La Real, but it is unlikely that he will even be risked on the couch, with Lunin so far starting all Copa del Rey matches of Real Madrid.
