Real Madrid coach Ancelotti refuses to criticise fans whistling Bale

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti refused to criticise fans whistling Gareth Bale.

Bale was again barracked by the home support during victory over Getafe.

Ancelotti said: "It didn't bother me that he was whistled at. He's training well and he wants to work hard and help the team. That's the most important thing. We need everyone and it's very important for the fans and the players to be united."

Ancelotti also admits Ferland Mendy has collected an injury.

"He had a muscle strain and we preferred not to take any risks. At the last minute we had a problem with Mariano. Apart from Militão, I think everyone will be fit for the Chelsea game apart from Hazard, who's recovering from his operation."
