Carlo Ancelotti confirms Endrick plans for Real Madrid vs AC Milan | OneFootball

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed his plans for Endrick, in the club’s upcoming meeting with AC Milan.

Real are set to mark their return to action in the early hours of Thursday morning.

In the first of three high-profile friendly fixtures scheduled for their pre-season tour of the USA, Los Blancos will lock horns with the aforementioned Milan, in Chicago.

The Spanish champions are expected to lean heavily on young players for the matchup, owing to the ongoing absence of a number of the club’s senior stars, following their respective summer endeavours on the international front.

Speaking to the media in the buildup to the clash, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of his selection plans was put to the aforementioned Carlo Ancelotti.

Specifically, the Italian tactician was asked if he intends to afford recent arrival Endrick playing time at Soldier Field.

And Ancelotti went on to confirm his plans for precisely that, in explaining:

“Endrick? He will play 45 minutes tomorrow. We are delighted that he is with us.”
