Last season’s Champions League finalists face off again, this time in the round of 16. The Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti has a complicated mission ahead of him, because the commander will not be able to count on two starters from his midfield.
German midfielder Toni Kroos missed the last two games and did not travel to Liverpool because of a stomach infection which, according to the Spanish press, affected the player’s weight and muscle mass. Tchouameni, who did not play last Saturday against Osasuna, is recovering from the flu.
The last time the two were on the pitch together was in the Club World Cup final. Now, the athletes join the injured Mendy and Mariano Díaz on the list of absences.
With the absences, Ancelotti should climb the Real Madrid midfield with Modric, Valverde and Camavinga. On the other hand, the meringues have the return of French striker Karim Benzema, who has been recovering from injury and did not participate in the last match on Saturday.
