Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said his team will be able to cope without injured star signing Kylian Mbappe in Sunday’s La Liga visit to rivals Atletico Madrid.
Los Blancos take on their rivals without the French forward, ruled out for three weeks with a hamstring injury. The Spanish champions are second, four points behind leaders Barcelona and two ahead of third-place Atletico.
“Obviously, playing without Mbappe changes things a bit, but not much,” Ancelotti told reporters Saturday. “We’re used to playing without him because last year he wasn’t here. It’s a pity that he’s not here but his absence we can cover for well.”
