The 37-year-old came off the bench in both of Real's victories over Athletic Bilbao and Almeria, with Jude Bellingham having impressed in his first two league starts.
Ancelotti appears to have preferred a more youthful engine room since the campaign got underway, but that, according to the Italian, does not mean Modric is considered unimportant to his plans.

Speaking this week about the legendary Croatia international's situation in Madrid, the manager admitted, though, that the playmaker is frustrated with his lack of game time so far in this campaign.
