Real Madrid injury, suspension list vs. Bayern Munich: Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo, Thibaut Courtois updates

Real Madrid will attempt to overturn a narrow deficit when they head to the Allianz Arena for Wednesday's second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich.  

After losing 2-1 to Mallorca in La Liga, Los Blancos suffered a repeat of that scoreline in the first leg against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Alvaro Arbeloa's side experienced more frustration in Friday's 1-1 draw against Girona, which has left them nine points adrift of leaders Barcelona with just seven matches left to play.

With Real Madrid's title hopes effectively over, the Champions League quarter-final takes on extra importance as the Spanish giants look to avoid a trophyless season. 

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their fixture with Bayern, who moved closer to the Bundesliga title with an emphatic 5-0 win over St. Pauli on Saturday.

Mbappe sustained a facial injury in the latter stages of Friday's draw with Girona. The Frenchman saw his appeals for a penalty waved away despite being struck in the face by Vitor Reis's elbow.

The Real Madrid star missed Sunday's training session after receiving stitches on a cut above his right eye. However, he is expected to be ready for the midweek trip to Munich.
