Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester City

Real Madrid injury, suspension list vs. Man City

Real Madrid continue their quest for a record-extending 15th top-tier European title when they welcome Manchester City to the Bernabeu for Tuesday's mouthwatering Champions League semi-final first leg.

Carlo Ancelotti's men ran out 4-0 aggregate winners over Chelsea in the quarters to advance to the final four, triumphing 2-0 in front of their own fans before an identical win at Stamford Bridge.

Los Blancos' La Liga title dreams have very nearly been extinguished, but they added another Copa del Rey crown to their brimming trophy cabinet on Saturday night, defeating Osasuna 2-1 in the final thanks to a Rodrygo brace.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Man City, who sunk Bayern Munich 4-1 over two legs in the last eight.


Ferland Mendy

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: May 9 (vs. Man City)

The luckless Ferland Mendy sustained a calf injury during a training session at the end of March, but he was able to complete some parts of team training on Monday, thereby offering slim hope of a comeback for the first leg.


Dani Ceballos

Status: Out Type of injury: Quadriceps Possible return date: May 13 (vs. Getafe)

Dani Ceballos will be a fresh absentee for the holders on Tuesday due to a quadriceps injury, and it is unclear if the midfielder will be back for the weekend's La Liga clash with Getafe.


REAL MADRID'S SUSPENSION LIST

Eder Militao

Return date: May 13 (vs. Getafe)

Brazilian centre-back Eder Militao picked up his third Champions League booking of the season in the second leg against Chelsea, and Real will be forced to cope without the suspended defender on Tuesday night.
