Real hit by injuries ahead of crucial Champions clash with City | OneFootball

Real Madrid takes the field this Wednesday in the Champions League against Manchester City. The match is valid for the first leg of the round of 16 of the competition. The Spanish team has released the list of players called up for the match, and some names stand out.

Mbappé, Bellingham, and Rodrygo are the main absences for the team, but many other names remain out of the squad. Éder Militão, Alaba, and Dani Ceballos were also already expected to be unavailable at this time. The club’s most recent loss was Álvaro Carreras, who was injured last Monday. Despite the number of absentees, Camavinga is once again available.

Due to these absences, the club has been calling up youth players for the matches. This time, six names make the list: Fran González for the goal and Diego Aguado for defense. Jorge Cestero, Manuel Ángel, César Palacios, and Thiago Pitarch are options for midfield. Among them, only Thiago Pitarch has started as a first-team player. Fran González and Diego Aguado have yet to make their debut for the main squad.
