Man City XI vs Real Madrid: Haaland injury latest, confirmed team news, predicted lineup for Champions League | OneFootball

Pep Guardiola’s side out to turn the tie around at the Santiago Bernabeu

Manchester City will hope to have Erling Haaland available for Wednesday’s Champions League showdown against Real Madrid.

Pep Guardiola’s side must turn things around after Madrid beat City 3-2 in the first leg last week, staging yet another dramatic late comeback.

While the Premier League champions remain outsiders, confidence is high after City smashed Newcastle 4-0 on Saturday, with January signing Omar Marmoush scoring a hat-trick.

Guardiola suggested Haaland had avoided serious injury, having sparked concern when holding his knee after landing awkwardly during the Newcastle game before coming off.

Kevin De Bruyne is expected to start after he was rested on Saturday, although all of Manuel Akanji, Rodri and Oscar Bobb are injured for City.

Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake and Jack Grealish will likely all face fitness tests.
