Keylor Navas to play in Copa del Rey

Navas to play in Copa del Rey

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that Keylor Navas is the club's Copa del Rey goalkeeper this season.

The Costa Rican joined Los Blancos from Levante this summer, but has struggled to oust Iker Casillas in the league.

Navas will be between the sticks, however, for Wednesday's Copa del Rey last-16 first leg against Atletico Madrid.

"Keylor is going to play in the cup and will play until the end of the cup. The team might have changes. There are players who haven't recovered. But I want to put out the best team possible," Ancelotti told reporters.

"The team isn't tired because there was a seven-day vacation. We're ok and it showed in the final part of the match against Valencia, where we played with great intensity. I don't know what will happen at the end of the season. I don't think we'll be tired."

Real Madrid beat Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey last season.
