Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that Javier Hernandez's form is making him an undroppable player.
The Mexican international followed up his match-winning goal against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League by scoring twice in the victory at Celta Vigo.
That spell has led to suggestions that Karim Benzema could find it difficult to get back into the side when he returns from injury, and the Italian coach has claimed that Manchester United loanee Hernandez is making a case for a regular place
He told reporters: "He's enjoying the period that he's in, it's a really good one.
"The whole team worked well. If Chicharito is in this form he's non-negotiable, like Cristiano [Ronaldo], [Karim] Benzema, James [Rodriguez], [Gareth] Bale, [Sergio] Ramos, Isco, [Raphael] Varane, Pepe.
"I have a team of non-negotiables, but only eleven can play and the rest stay on the bench."
Real are currently two points behind Barcelona in La Liga with five games left.
