Carlo Ancelotti confirms Marcelo is back in training, could start against Valencia

Carlo Ancelotti confirmed after Real's 4-2 loss to AC Milan that Marcelo was able to train in Valdebebas. The Brazilian left back is therefore aiming to start Sunday's match against Valencia, although Ancelotti could still play it safe and deploy Coentrao on Real's left wing.

Ancelotti confirma que Marcelo ha podido trabajar en Valdebebas. Parece que llegará a Mestalla.
