Real Madrid defender David Alaba is '100 per cent going to play' in the Champions League final against Liverpool, insists Carlo Ancelotti

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti says David Alaba will '100 per cent' feature in the Champions League final against Liverpool.

Alaba has been dealing with a hamstring injury sustained in the semi-final first leg against Manchester City last month and did not feature in Madrid's last LaLiga game of the season against Real Betis on Friday.

After the 0-0 draw at the Bernabeu, Ancelotti confirmed that the Austria defender will play against Liverpool at the Stade de France next Saturday.
