Real Madrid boss Ancelotti insists Chicharito has his confidence

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he's happy counting on Javier Hernandez.

The on-loan Manchester United striker was again ignored for their Copa del Rey defeat to Atletico Madrid in midweek.

"The other day I didn't bring Chicharito on because I had a lot of forwards. Jesé, Benzema, Bale were on... I couldn't take off a midfielder because there were only forwards," explained Ancelotti.

"I have confidence in every player in the squad."
