Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are available for Real Madrid's Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Manchester City on Tuesday. Both players missed recent domestic fixtures due to injury but trained with the first-team squad before travelling to Manchester, according to Sky Sports. Their inclusion provides a boost for manager Carlo Ancelotti as his side seeks to progress in the competition.
Mbappe had been sidelined with a muscular issue, while Bellingham recovered from a persistent ankle problem. The Spanish club confirmed their presence in the 23-man travelling party via an official squad announcement on Monday. Real Madrid enter the fixture following a first-leg draw at the Bernabeu last month, per ESPN reporting.
Manchester City host the Spanish champions at the Etihad Stadium with a full-strength squad available to Pep Guardiola. The winners of the tie will secure a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament. The match kicks off at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday evening.
