Ancelotti includes rookie defender Rafa Marin in Real Madrid squad for Chelsea
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti will include rookie defender Rafa Marin in his squad for tonight's Champions League clash with Chelsea.
The Castilla defender, 19, is yet to taste first team football, but will be in the Real squad tonight due to the forced absences of Eder Militao and Jesus Vallejo.
Marin played for Spain at the 2019 U17 World Cup and has made 24 appearances for Castilla this season.
Standing at 1.91m, Marin is a left-sided centre-half and viewed as natural cover for David Alaba.
Real host Chelsea tonight leading 3-1 on aggregate for their quarterfinal tie.
