This Player Is Doomed, Ancelotti Crosses Him Out and He Won't Play Anymore This Year

Ancelotti doesn't count on this player and he isn't expected to play for the team anymore this season.

Real Madrid's season has progressed in a very peculiar way, starting off very chaotic and poorly until gradually improving. For this reason, there are players who have been significantly enhanced throughout the campaign. However, this doesn't seem to be the case for a footballer that Real Madrid has on the roster, but Ancelotti doesn't count on him.

We are referring to Jesús Vallejo, who is practically erased from all the club's drafts. The Italian coach's intention is indeed to completely do without this player, with no chances of him playing this season. For some, this might seem cruel; however, the player himself doesn't even have confidence in himself.

Now it seems that the footballer's farewell is getting closer to the end of the season, and there's nothing that can change this. Moreover, he surely won't be able to play a single minute with the merengue jersey again.

Vallejo Won't Play Anymore

This player arrived at Real Madrid in 2015, where it was expected that he would perform very well as a center-back.  However, he has never reached the point of being an important footballer, joining several teams in the process.

This season, he can only account for 10 minutes played in that match that almost cost us three points. While he has the ability to play in both central defense positions or even as a right-back, his level has never met the white expectations.

These are some of the reasons why the player doesn't even have the coach's confidence and it seems he won't be able to play minutes for the remainder of the campaign. His contract ties him until the summer of this year, so we are facing the last months of Vallejo as a Madrid footballer.

It's the Best for Everyone

At 28 years old, he can still steer his career in another team to try to regain his best level. However, at Real Madrid, they see this separation as the best for both him and the institution, which needs top players.
