MADRID, 18 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The German central Antonio Rüdiger and the Austrian David Alaba and the Spanish side Lucas Vázquez are the main novelties in the call of Real Madrid for the return of the ‘playoff’ of the Champions League on Wednesday (21.00) against Manchester City in the Santiago Bernabéu.
The Galician side, absent in the victory (2-3) in the Etihad Stadium and in the Sadar this Saturday, finally entered the list prepared by coach Carlo Ancelotti, after completing the last training to the rhythm of his teammates, although the Italian He confirmed in the previous one that he will not play by not having completed his recovery process.
Yes, Rüdiger will arrive, who suffered a muscular injury in Cornellà on February 1 and was not in the first leg in Mercuneter, although he now points to ownership in the axis of the rear. Ancelotti can also count on Alaba, that the last four meetings have also been lost due to a muscle problem, although he would start on the bench against City in the Bernabéu.
Therefore, the Italian coach presents only two casualties to receive those of Pep Guardiola: Éder Militao and Dani Carvajal, both with serious injuries and that the majority of the season will be low. Ancelotti only summons a canterano for this Champions meeting, goalkeeper Sergio Mestre.
