Carlo Ancelotti unsure when Jese Rodriguez will return

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that he still does not have a return date for long-term absentee Jese Rodriguez.

The attacker burst onto the scene last season, but he has not played since March after suffering a torn cruciate knee ligament.

In August, Ancelotti hinted that the youngster was on the verge of fitness, but it is understood that the Spaniard has suffered a major set-back.

"We don't know when Jese will return," Ancelotti admitted at a press conference.

Jese is not expected to return to training until 2015.
