Carlo Ancelotti is reportedly planning for next season with Denis Cheryshev and Jesus Fernandez as members of the first team squad.

The youngsters are seen as included for 2013-14’s senior squad as part of Madrid’s intended focus on youth for the new season.

Cheryshev, who signed a new contract with the club last week, is reportedly in line as Ancelotti’s first alternative to Marcelo at full-back, with Fabio Coentrao expected to leave.

The left-sided winger and centre-forward has been tested at left-back in preseason and reportedly impressed his Italian Coach enough.

Meanwhile, 25-year-old goalkeeper Jesus is set to benefit from Antonio Adan’s expected departure this summer by taking his place in the squad behind Iker Casillas and Diego Lopez.
