Real Madrid are ready to face Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday, with more than just three points at stake for Los Blancos. Carlo Ancelotti will rely on his best players, or at least those available due to the significant injuries that have led to several key absences.

Fede Valverde is expected to feature in this highly anticipated encounter, with the Uruguayan almost certain to return to play as right-back, a position he occupied in the team’s last match against Leganés at Butarque.

Carlo Ancelotti commented on Valverde’s performance after the win over Los Pepineros, saying: “Valverde is a fantastic full-back. He is the best in the world after Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez. He can play equally well in several positions, but the challenge is determining which position he excels in the most.”

In the past few hours, Edu Aguirre has revealed details about Valverde’s performance against Leganés, highlighting his excellent physical condition. “Against Leganés, Valverde covered more than a kilometre at 24 kilometres per hour,” the commentator said on the *José Pedrerol* programme, a figure that astonished both Carlo Ancelotti and David Ancelotti, as well as Antonio Pintus, the team’s fitness coach.
