TANGIER, Morocco (Reuters) - Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has a selection headache for the Club World Cup semi-final with Egypt's Al Ahly on Wednesday as he will be missing several key players due to injury.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, forward Karim Benzema and defenders Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez and Ferland Mendy will not make the trip to Morocco on Monday but the first three may be available for a possible final on Saturday if Real advance.
