The Brazilian only returned to the starting lineup two games ago against Getafe after missing several games with an injury.
It will now be interesting to see what the starting team looks like. Rodrygo is a guaranteed starter, and other injuries do not give Ancelotti any choice of formation up top. Brahim Diaz is the front-runner to replace Rodrygo.
