Recently, the Spanish team has been suffering from injuries in its squad. Left-back Mendy, for example, will be out for five or six weeks after injuring the hamstring muscle in his left thigh in the Copa del Rey victory over Atletico Madrid.
Last Thursday, in the match against Valencia, Benzema and Militão also warned Madrid fans after feeling pain and being substituted. According to Ancelotti, however, the injuries of the Frenchman and the Brazilian are not a concern for the competition in Morocco.
Real Madrid debuts in the Club World Cup on Wednesday, against Al-Ahly, in the semi-final of the World Cup. The ball rolls at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Príncipe Moulay Abdellah Stadium.
