Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal will travel to Germany for Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal will travel to Germany for Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

Carvajal will not be able to feature against the Bundesliga giants, as the defender is suspended due to the milestone yellow card that he picked up against Manchester City in the second leg of the quarter-final.

Alaba, meanwhile, will not play again this season due to an ACL injury which he picked up in December.

Courtois is on the verge of returning from a second knee operation of the campaign, with the Belgian potentially featuring against Cadiz next weekend, but he is not expected to be involved against Bayern.

Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy all set to return

Real Madrid are expected to receive a triple boost for the clash with Bayern, though, with Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Ferland Mendy all set to feature.

Bellingham and Rodrygo missed out against Real Sociedad in La Liga on Friday due to illnesses, but the pair are expected to have recovered in time to take to the field on Tuesday night.

Mendy, meanwhile, was left out against Real Sociedad as a precaution due to a muscular issue, but the Frenchman is also set to be involved in the clash against Thomas Tuchel's team.

Lucas Vazquez is likely to benefit from Carvajal's absence, with the Spaniard set to operate at right-back, while Eder Militao played the full 90 minutes on Friday and is also in line to feature from the first whistle.

Carlo Ancelotti is set to recall star players

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti, as expected, made changes for the clash with Real Sociedad, but the capital outfit still managed to record a 1-0 victory, with Arda Guler scoring the only goal of the contest.

Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior, Antonio Rudiger, Eduardo Camavinga and Toni Kroos are all set to return to the team alongside Bellingham, Mendy and Rodrygo.

Andriy Lunin will also be back between the sticks, and it will be fascinating to see whether he is replaced by Courtois in the latter stages of the campaign.

Real Madrid, who are 13 points clear at the top of the La Liga table, will welcome Bayern to Bernabeu on May 8 for the second leg of their semi-final ahead of a potential final against either Paris Saint-Germain or Borussia Dortmund.

Real Madrid squad vs. Bayern:

Courtois (injured), Lunin, Kepa; Carvajal (suspended), Militao, Alaba (injured), Nacho, Vazquez, F Garcia, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos, Guler; Vinicius, Rodrygo, Joselu, Brahim
