David Alaba is on the bench for Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final second leg with Manchester City at Bernabeu.

David Alaba has been named on the bench for Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final second leg with Manchester City at Bernabeu.

Los Blancos trail 4-3 from the first leg in Manchester, meaning that the newly-crowned La Liga champions have work to do if they are to advance to the final to take on Liverpool.

During his pre-match press conference, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti said that Alaba would not feature due to a hamstring problem, but the Austria international is on the bench tonight and could yet play a role in his side's bid to reach the final.

Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale have not been included in the squad due to injury, but Casemiro, who was not involved in the first leg through injury, will start in the middle of midfield at Bernabeu.

Nacho, as expected, features in the middle of the defence alongside Eder Militao, while Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy will play in the full-back positions.

There are no surprises further forward, with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric joining Casemiro in midfield, while Federico Valverde will play in a front three with Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior, with the Uruguay international being preferred to Rodrygo.

REAL MADRID: Courtois; Carvajal, Nacho, Militao, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius
