Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti cannot rule out the departure of Marco Asensio.

Ancelotti was speaking after victory over Almeria.

He said of the midfielder: “He's a Madrid player and until that changes I will consider him as such and if he deserves to play, he will do so.

"We have to remember his contribution last year, he scored a lot of goals.

“He's an important player and we'll have to wait until the 31st to see what happens and what decision he makes."
