Madrid to try out Cheryshev

Real Madrid will reportedly experiment this preseason with Denis Cheryshev at left-back, in light of a shortage of cover in the position.

Marcelo is not due back at the club for preseason until next week, whilst Fabio Coentrao has been absent from training with permission, whilst it expected that he will be transferred out.

Ahead of travelling out to Bournemouth for this weekend’s opening preseason test, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane have reportedly discussed using Cheryshev in the position.

The 22-year-old Russian, who has four years of experience with the Castilla side, is a left-sided attacking player without experience playing in defence.
