Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Militao and Courtois can play this season

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois are back in training.

Both players suffered ACL injuries at the start of the season.

Ancelotti confirmed: Both have a chance of playing matches this season. Their recoveries are going very well. The medical staff don't want to force them but they're doing very well.

"They're training on the pitch individually. In February they will have been out for six months and this type of injury takes between six, eight and ten months and I think they'll both recover before the end of the season."

He also said of Militao: After six months and with this type of injury, we'll see how he feels on the pitch. After 7-8 months we can think that he can come back."
