Real Madrid XI vs Man City: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Champions League today
Real Madrid name a strong team as expected for today’s Champions League clash with Man City.
Only long-term absentees Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba have been ruled out for Los Blancos, who named their matchday squad on Monday.
Brazilian defender Eder Militao has been included, having made his comeback from injury as a substitute in the LaLiga win over Athletic Club at the end of last month.

Real were able to rest over the weekend with the Copa del Rey final taking centre stage in Spain and Militao’s inclusion is the big selection decision for Carlo Ancelotti.
The Madrid coach was tight-lipped on his starting line-up during his press conference for the quarter-final first leg in the Spanish capital.
Nacho Fernandez is the one to drop out of the XI should Militao start.
Vinicius Jr will return to the Real team having been suspended for the Athletic match. The forward, along with Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga are one booking away from a one-game ban in the Champions League.
Starting Real Madrid XI: Lunin; Carvajal, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy; Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr
Subs: Kepa, Fran, Militao, Nacho, Modric, Joselu, Vazquez, Ceballos, Garcia, Diaz, Guller
