Official: Real Madrid squad list to face Manchester City – Mbappe, Bellingham return | OneFootball

Real Madrid will fly to England today as they take on Manchester City on Tuesday in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round-of-16 tie.

With a big 3-0 advantage from the first leg, courtesy of Federico Valverde’s hat-trick, Los Blancos will be aiming to finish the job at Etihad Stadium tomorrow.

Ahead of the game, manager Alvaro Arbeloa has announced the squad list of players that will be flying to Manchester for the game.

And the biggest news is that Kylian Mbappe has been passed fit to be included in the squad, after missing the last few matches through knee injury.

It is unlikely that the French superstar will start the game, but his availability even from the bench comes as a big boost for Real Madrid.

Jude Bellingham, too, has been named in the squad, although it is unclear if he will be ready to play.

Meanwhile, Alvaro Carreras also returns to the squad having recovered from the knock he sustained a little over a week ago. David Alaba, too, makes a comeback.

However, Raul Asencio and Ferland Mendy have not recovered from their problems and miss out, along with Rodrygo Goes, Eder Militao, and Dani Ceballos.

Youngsters Diego Aguado, Jorge Cestero, Manuel Angel, Cesar Palacios, and Thiago Pitarch have been called up again, and have been joined by another Castilla prospect, Mario Rivas.

Franco Mastantuono is back in the squad too, after missing the weekend league game through suspension.
