Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that two first-team stars, Thibaut Courtois and Antonio Rudiger will be rested for their upcoming Copa del Rey game. Los Blancos will visit fourth-tier Deportiva Minera in the Round of 32 of the competition on Monday, January 6.
While the Spanish champions are overwhelming favorites to win, Ancelotti is taking no chances and calling a strong matchday squad. However, two key names will be missing on the day.
Speaking to the press, Ancelotti said (via Football Espana):
"Those who do not travel are Courtois and Rudiger, who stay here, the rest all go. I want to give minutes to others who have played a little less."
