Ancelotti reveals one surprise player could start in Clasico, jokes about Rodrygo rest

"He [Militao] could start tomorrow [against Barcelona]. He is fine. He only needs game time. He's ready," Carlo Ancelotti has told the media.

"Rodrygo feels very well. He had some delicate moments because he didn't score for some time, but now he's very good. Tomorrow [in El Clasico] he will rest... until nine o'clock [that's when the game starts]," he also said.

Ancelotti is expected to slightly rotate his squad against Barca. Lucas Vazquez, Luka Modric and Eder Militao could all start on Sunday.
