David Alaba is still injured, and will not be travelling with the team to Eastern Spain. “There are some players who have made history in this club and others are entering the career. I think it is the start of a new cycle because some players are reaching the end. “We have been very optimistic in defence. And the day Luka, Karim and Toni stop playing there are others who will take command.” Luka is different but little by little he will return to give his contribution this season.” When asked about the possible changes, including that of Toni Kroos’ role, the manager added, “[Kroos] is not the only option to play as a pivot. “It’s an opportunity to get out of this difficult moment that usually happens in the season soon.

On the youngster’s struggles as a starter, Ancelotti said: “The change against Valencia wasn’t because of his performance, because he’d done well that day.
