La Liga leaders Real Madrid host Osasuna on Saturday, with Vinicius continuing to find his best form after injury. Italian coach Ancelotti has problems at the back with David Alaba still injured, meaning centre-back Antonio Rudiger will be paired with an out-of-position player - either Ferland Mendy or Aurelien Tchouameni.
"We've tried Tchouameni there in the last two days of training, he's got a defensive attitude, is good with his head, in duels, what he uses as a pivot he can use in defence. The other (option) is Mendy, he's a defender and he's used to playing in the back line," said Ancelotti.
Meanwhile, Nacho Fernandez is suspended for three matches after a hard tackle in the match against Girona in La Liga.
Goalkeepers: Lunin, Kepa, Pineiro
Defenders: Carrillo, Carvajal, Lucas V, Fran Garcia, Ruediger, Mendy
Midfielders: Bellingham, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos
Forwards: Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Joselu and Brahim
