Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says they're carefully managing Raphael Varane's return.

The France defender is coming back from a knee injury.

"He was a bit tired. He is not going to play tomorrow (against Rayo) but he will prepare to play on Tuesday against Juventus. We have to be careful with his knee. He has played two matches and tomorrow he will rest to avoid problems with his knee," said Ancelotti.
