Madrid, 28 Nov (EFE).- Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted Friday that German midfielder Toni Kroos "is a little tired" because of all the minutes he has had, but added that "he will play" at the Rosaleda against Malaga because of injuries to Luka Modric and Sami Khedira. br br br br "I don't see the team tired. I saw a team this morning that has recovered very well from the game against Basel. We need rotations when the players are tired. I agree that Kroos is a little tired and in the Cup week we will make some changes," he stated. br br br br The Italian responded to Kroos' comment asking for a rest. "Tomorrow he will play. It's possible he is a little tired but we need him in Malaga. He will rest next week." br br br br And he pointed to Asier Illarramendi as a perfect substitute. "He is the most appropriate player to substitute him. He has come back from injury and he played very well in Basel. We don't have any problems to swap Kroos for Illarramendi.
