Real Madrid announced this Monday the list of players for the match against Manchester City, for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The big news in the delegation are the returns of Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.
The duo was out of the team for medical reasons. Mbappé was recovering from a sprain in his left knee. Meanwhile, Bellingham was treating a muscle injury in his left thigh. Left-back Álvaro Carreras also returns after recovering from a muscle injury in his right calf.
Despite the good news, the club is dealing with important absences, all due to injury, which forced coach Álvaro Arbeloa to rely on the youth team. Out of the trip are: Éder Militão, Asensio, Mendy, Rodrygo, and Ceballos.
Among the youth team players called up are Fran González, Diego Aguado, Mario Rivas, Cestero, Thiago Pitarch, Manuel Ángel, and Palacios.
In the first leg, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabéu. The second match will be played this Tuesday at 5 PM (Brasília time) at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
