Ancelotti to rest Rüdiger and Mbappé in match against Real Sociedad

Tomorrow, Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, but not all key players will be in the starting lineup.

Details: According to Diario AS, head coach Carlo Ancelotti has decided to rest two key players.

Central defender Antonio Rüdiger and the team's top scorer Kylian Mbappé will not feature in the starting lineup.

It is expected that David Alaba will partner with Raúl Asensio instead of Rüdiger, and Endrick will gain playing time at the center of attack.

Ancelotti justifies this decision by pointing out that Real Madrid has crucial matches ahead in the title race, as well as the Champions League quarter-finals against Arsenal.

The first game in San Sebastián ended with a 1-0 victory for Madrid.

Reminder: Due to injury, first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has not been included in the squad for the match against Real Sociedad.
