Real Madrid coach Ancelotti dismisses Vinicius Jr burnout fears

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists there's no burnout issues for Vinicius Junior.

Real meet Elche in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.

Ancelotti said, "I think he has to stop [playing] when we see him tired, when he can't show his quality on the pitch or when he's injured.

"I am not resting him because he may be tired in two months' time. If it gets tired in two months, I'll replace him.

"Now, really, I don't see him tired, so I think he can play."
