Carlo Ancelotti provides Toni Kroos injury update ahead of PSG clash

Ancelotti provides Kroos injury update ahead of PSG clash

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that he will take no risks on Toni Kroos's fitness against Paris Saint-Germain.

Last week, Kroos sustained a thigh injury that resulted in his absence from the weekend's La Liga fixture with Real Sociedad.

With Casemiro serving a suspension for the second leg of Wednesday's Champions League tie, it has been suggested that Ancelotti may be forced to gamble on the Germany international.

However, speaking to reporters at a press conference, Ancelotti has insisted that Kroos will only be named in the starting lineup if he is "100% fit".

The Italian said: "Any player who is not at 100% cannot play this type of game. "If I think that Kroos is at 100% he plays, if I think he is at 95% he does not play."

Real head into the second leg of their last-16 tie facing a 1-0 deficit courtesy of Kylian Mbappe's last-minute strike at Parc des Princes.
