Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Jese Rodriguez and Alvaro Morata will both start in Tuesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Schalke 04.
The Spanish outfit have all but secured their spot in the quarter-finals following a 6-1 win in the first leg and Ancelotti has confirmed that he will rotate his squad at the Bernabeu.
"We'll be making a few changes because our last two games required a great physical effort; we've also had to travel and hardly had much rest," he told reporters at a press conference.
"So this is a good moment for some players to take a rest.
"Jese will start – our forward line will be Morata, Jese and Cristiano [Ronaldo]. Jese is lucky – I had to wait until I was 30 before my first press conference in the Champions League, and he's still only 21."
Next up for Madrid in the league is El Clasico on Sunday evening.
