Carlo Ancelotti expressed concerns regarding the availability of David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga for Real Madrid's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, as both players sustained injuries during a recent LaLiga match against Getafe. Alaba felt discomfort and was substituted by Camavinga, who later also had to leave the game due to injury. Ancelotti acknowledged the difficulty of their recovery before the final. He highlighted Fran García as the likely left-back option but remained optimistic, stating anything could happen in a final despite potential favorites. Furthermore, he discussed the long-term positioning of Arda Güler in Madrid's formation, seeing him as a central midfielder rather than in an advanced position.
"He and Alaba both had muscular discomfort. Recovery for Saturday will be difficult."
"It's a final, maybe there's a favourite, but in a final, anything can happen."
"In a 4-4-2, he can't play in double pivot. In that system, he can only play right-wing. In a 4-3-3, he can play as a midfielder."
"He works hard, he lacks a bit in the duels, but he has a lot of quality, not just with the goal, but how he manages the play."
