Carlo Ancelotti recalled that Aurélien Tchouaméni could play in central defense with Real Madrid, but only to help out.

Faced with the serious injury to David Alaba, which follows that of Eder Militao, Real Madrid is in a difficult situation with the central defenders. Carlo Ancelotti has however announced that the Merengues will not recruit this winter, the Italian coach will therefore make do with what he has at hand.

Antonio Rüdiger will undoubtedly play a lot. And on Saturday evening, in the Copa del Rey, it was the young Alvaro Carrillo who was lined up alongside Nacho. In the event of an appeal, Ancelotti warned that he could also use Aurélien Tchouaméni in defense, as in midweek against Mallorca.

“Tchouameni is a defensive midfielder, but in this emergency he will be a central defender. Although now Nacho is back. Mendy also returns tomorrow and will be available for the Super Cup. My job is to choose the best eleven to win each match.”summarized Ancelotti about his infirmary.
