Real Madrid midfielder, Luka Modric has recovered sooner than expected and could face Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Recall the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner was earlier ruled out of the encounter after picking up an injury a week ago.
Initial reports claimed the unspecified injury could rule him out for the rest of the season.
However, Modric came on as a late substitute in Madrid’s Copa del Rey final win over Osasuna on Saturday and is expected to play a part in the first leg semis against Man City on Tuesday.
“He can play without problem. He is going to play,” Ancelotti told reporters before the game.
