Real Madrid boss Ancelotti: Casillas plays tonight

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says Iker Casillas will start tonight's Super Cup clash with Atletico Madrid.

Casillas' status at Real has strengthened after Diego Lopez's departure to AC Milan.

Ancelotti remarked: "Iker will play. He's training and has the confidence of everyone. After that we'll see.

"Diego López decided to leave. Nobody kicked him out. It's got nothing to do with the sporting side. Last year we had two great keepers and this year we've got great keepers."
