Carlo Ancelotti is already 'considering rare change to his Real Madrid formation' amid problems fitting Kylian Mbappe and Endrick into his team

The Champions League holders have a wealth of attacking talents including Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.

Real Madrid have a wealth of attacking talents available in their squad and coach Carlo Ancelotti is said to be considering making a huge change to his team in a bid to fit both Kylian Mbappe and Endrick into his side.

Los Blancos won the La Liga title for the 36th time last season, while the Spanish side also claimed their 15th Champions League title with a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

Last season saw the arrival of England star Jude Bellingham to complement the extraordinary attacking players who were already present at the Santiago Bernabeu, including the likes of Rodrygo, Eder Militao and Vinicius Jr, being fed by the evergreen Luka Modric and the now-retired Toni Kroos.

Real added to their ranks over the summer when the long-anticipated move for Mbappe came to fruition, as the Frenchman moved to the Spanish side on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, putting pen to paper on a five-year deal.

The 25-year-old has five goals in seven games across all competitions so far for Real, including a first strike for his new club in the Champions League as Real beat Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu 3-1 in their opening game of this year's competition.

Mbappe opened the scoring just after half-time before Deniz Undav equalised for the German side.

Antonio Rudiger gave Real back the lead as full-time approached, before Endrick became the club's youngest ever Champions League goalscorer with the final kick of the game.

The Brazilian's decision to go alone when he had both Mbappe and Vinicius either side of him prompted plenty of reaction but Bellingham looked to dampen any speculation around a rift in the dressing room after the game.

Endrick signed for Los Blancos over the summer from Brazilian side Palmeiras and has already made history by netting on his La Liga debut for Real.

The 18-year-old striker, along with Mbappe, has bolstered Real's attacking options and gives Ancelotti a welcome headache when it comes to team selection decisions.

The question is if both players can play in the same team at once, and it appears Ancelotti may be looking to answer that with a particular move.

According to Spanish publication Marca, Ancelotti is considering playing with four midfielders in a bid to fit both Mbappe and Endrick into the same side, rather than the three they usually play with, with the move likely to be put into practice on away days and in demanding fixtures.

The latter includes the upcoming Madrid derby against Atletico, and it could indeed be seen in this fixture.
