Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has hinted Javier Hernandez will play against Club World Cup opponents Cruz Azul.

It will be a special game for Mexican striker Chicharito, on-loan from Manchester United.

"He is motivated, as always, and is working hard daily. He will play and important role," said Ancelotti.

"I'm not sure how many minutes he'll play but I'm sure he'll help the team out in the tournament."
