Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is set to miss their next LaLiga outing after receiving his third yellow card of the season during their surprising 2-1 loss to Valencia on Saturday.
This means the experienced Italian tactician will serve a one-match touchline suspension when the Spanish giants visit Deportivo Alaves in their upcoming league fixture.
Despite the domestic ban, Ancelotti will still be on the sidelines for the crucial UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg against Arsenal, scheduled for Tuesday.
He will also have key players Antonio Rudiger, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, and Dani Ceballos available for selection.
The quartet had been under the spotlight after UEFA launched a probe into their celebrations following Real Madrid’s dramatic penalty shootout victory over Atletico Madrid in the last 16, but they have all avoided suspension for the Emirates Stadium showdown.
