Carlo Ancelotti confirmed during his pre-match press conference that Raphäel Varane will make his return to the team in tomorrows Copa del Rey derby against Atlético de Madrid. Real Madrid hold a 3-0 lead, and Diego Costa will not be available for coach Diego Pablo Simeone, so Varanes task will likely be much easier without the talented striker. Furthermore, David Villa could also miss the match. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is still recovering from back spams too. The Belgian was not on the squad for Atletis 2-0 loss against Almería. All things considered, Simeone might be forced to rotate his team, maybe starting both Arda Turan and Diego in the midfield with Raúl García and Adrián upfront if Villa isnt available. Fàbio Coentrao and Marcelo -both left the game against Villarreal- will be available. Carlo Ancelotti will be able to rotate his team if he finally believes the ticket to the Copa del Rey is well secured.
