Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Benzema return fills us with confidence

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is delighted having a fully fit Karim Benzema to count on.

Real meet Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana final today in Riyadh.

Ancelotti said, “Benzema is back. That fills us with confidence heading into the second half of the season. He looks motivated and is training well. He’s a key player for us. The squad has done well to fill his boots early in the season but he’ll be hugely important going forward.

“We’re always concerned when we have injuries. We just have the two guys we’ve left in Madrid and Lucas Vázquez.

“(Eder) Militão and (Eduardo) Camavinga have recovered well and will train no problem at all. It’s tough to recover from extra-time but we’ll be fine in time for the game.”
