Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Javier Hernandez will be given the chance to impress at the Club World Cup.

The Mexican joined Los Blancos on loan from Manchester United in the summer, but has struggled for regular football at the Bernabeu.

Ancelotti, however, has claimed that the striker is still "working hard" and will be given a chance in Morocco.

"He is as he always is, working hard as always," Ancelotti told reporters. "I'm sure he'll have a part to play in this competition. I do not know how many minutes he will get but he can help the team in this tournament."

Real Madrid face Mexican side Cruz Azul in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
