Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night.
Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid is facing several injury concerns that have limited their squad options recently.
Jude Bellingham is still out due to a hamstring injury from earlier this year, and Eder Militao and Dani Ceballos are also unavailable.
Rodrygo is sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury, while Alvaro Carreras continues his recovery from a calf issue.
Kylian Mbappe is likely to miss the match due to a knee injury, although he returned to training this week, which is a positive sign.
Defender David Alaba has a muscle problem and will not be fit in time for the game against Manchester City.
On a brighter note, Dean Huijsen and Franco Mastantuono have been declared fit and may be included in the squad depending on Alvaro Arbeloa’s choices.
Eduardo Camavinga is still a slight doubt and will be evaluated closer to kick-off. Meanwhile, Vinícius Junior is expected to lead the attack alongside Gonzalo Garcia, taking on more responsibility due to the injuries in the forward line.
