"The last time Bellingham was unavailable, Brahim played in his position – this seems like a clue. But Leipzig are very strong at set pieces. Brahim is not tall," Carlo Ancelotti has told the media.
"And then I have to evaluate what to do with Carvajal as he was very good at centre-back the last time. What am I going to do? I have to think," he added.
It was initially expected that Ancelotti would field Brahim Diaz and the centre-back pairing of Aurelien Tchouameni and Nacho against RB Leipzig. Is he actually re-considering something, or are these just mind games? He surely knows Leipzig's Marco Rose is a great tactician.
As a reminder, Jude Bellingham is missing the game through an injury while there is only one natural centre-back available, Nacho.
❓ How should Carlo solve his dilemmas?
