MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti suggested he will rest several regular starters for Saturday's LaLiga game against Espanyol as they prepare to host Manchester City in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final a few days later.
Real will be looking to overturn a 4-3 deficit from the first leg in order to reach their 17th final in the competition.
"The idea is to rest the players who are in need of resting," Ancelotti told a news conference on Friday. The Italian will have to make changes in defence anyway as Nacho and Eder Militao are suspended and David Alaba is still recovering from a lower leg injury suffered in Manchester last Tuesday.
