The Blancos coach is set to pick Spain star in his
Champions League starting XI against the Turkish giants
Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Iker
Casillas will start in the match against Galatasaray on Tuesday.
The goalkeeper has been left out in the cold so far this
season, with Ancelotti opting for Diego Lopez in all of his Liga matches so
far.
However, while giving praise to Lopez for his consistent
performances, the tactician has announced plans to rotate his squad ahead of
the first Champions League group game this term.
"Diego played really well, but the Iker decision has
been made," the 54-year-old was quoted as saying by Marca.
He went on to praise Gareth Bale's performance in the 2-2
draw against Villareal last weekend, where the €100 million Welshman was able
to get himself on the scoresheet.
"Bale is happy. He played well and showed a good
attitude on the pitch," he said.
"I don't think it was the team's worst performance
this season. It was clear that the two teams were playing at different tempos.
That's to be expected after the international break."
Madrid are preparing to kick off with Galatasaray on
September 17.
