Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Xabi Alonso will make his return from injury in the La Liga clash with Sevilla on Wednesday evening.

The 31-year-old, who returned to contact training last week, has not played for the Spanish outfit this season after undergoing groin surgery in the summer.

Ancelotti told reporters at a press conference: "I will try and give Xabi Alonso some minutes tomorrow."

Alonso, who joined Madrid from Liverpool in 2009, has made just short of 200 appearances for the Spanish club.
