This week, Real Madrid will play Manchester City in the Champions League with an almost fully fit roster.

Los Blancos announced their matchday roster on Monday, and the only players ruled out are the injured Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba.

As anticipated, Brazilian defender Eder Militao has been included after making his ιnjury comeback as a substitute in the La Liga victory over Athletic Club at the end of the previous month.

Because the Copa del Rey final was held in Spain over the weekend, Real was permitted to relax. Carlo Ancelotti made a major selection with Militao’s inclusion.

During his press conference for the first leg of the quarterfinal in the Spanish capital, the coach of Real Madrid remained silent about his starting lineup.

If Militao starts, Nacho Fernandez will probably be the one to leave the starting lineup.

Vinicius Jr., who was suspended for the Athletic game, is expected to make his Real team comeback. The forward is one booking away from a one-game suspension in the Champions League, along with Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga.

Expected Actual Madrid starting lineup: Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.; Tchouameni, Kroos, Valverde; Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy; Lunin

The Santiago Bernabéu will host Real Madrid for the opening leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Tuesday at 9 p.m. (CET).

Prior to Tuesday’s (9 p.m. CEST) Champions League quarterfinal first leg versus Manchester City at Santiago Bernabéu stadium, the team’s final practice was held at Real Madrid City.

The players warmed up on the pitch with rondos and some tactical drills after the initial warm-up. They concluded the practice with finishing on goal and free-kicks after engaging in a small-sided game. Alaba and Courtois persisted in their rehabilitation efforts.
