Carlo Ancelotti: 'Toni Kroos should be fit'

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has hinted that Toni Kroos will be fit to face Juventus on Wednesday.

The German midfielder was forced to depart in the first half of Los Blancos' 2-2 draw with Valencia in the league at the weekend with a hip injury.

However, Ancelotti has revealed that the problem is not muscular and is hopeful that the World Cup winner will be fit for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

"Kroos had a blow to his hip. It doesn't seem to be a muscle problem and we're quite positive about it," Ancelotti has been quoted as saying by UEFA.com.

Real Madrid lost the first leg 2-1 in Turin last week.
