Real Madrid coach Ancelotti hints dropping Rodrygo for Girona clash

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Vini Jr is fit to start against Girona tomorrow.

Real meet Girona with the Catalans top of the table.

Ancelotti said: "Tomorrow he will start and can play 90 minutes. He's fine but we'll see how long he lasts, it depends on what I ask of him. I can also last 90 minutes or 100 if you don't have to run.

"We play an important game and we have to give our best. The system is not going to change but we are going to introduce some changes to try to be more solid and have more success. We have to play a complete game, with balance. We have to defend well and show the quality we have with the ball to hurt them."

On Rodrygo Goes, he added: "His problem is that he has not scored the goals that everyone expected. His contribution has been good and he is the only one who has played in all the games. A little rest can help him."
