Manchester City vs Real Madrid: injured and suspended ahead of the Champions League match

After the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, Manchester City and Real Madrid will have to try to get a place in the semifinals of the European competition. The tie is still not decided at all, and therefore, despite the result of the first leg, City still has options to qualify, especially playing at home.

Below we leave you with the injured and sanctioned players from both teams for this match:

More news about the Champions League

Injured

Nathan Ake

The Dutch defender is suffering from a calf injury suffered in the match against Arsenal. Since then he has been out for the Manchester team and is expected to be out for this match. He now comes to the game as a doubt.

John Stones

Another player who arrives as a doubt for this match is John Stones due to muscle problems. If he is eligible, Pep Guardiola will probably start him.

Injured

Courtois

The Belgian goalkeeper has been injured for several months now. Before the summer holidays he was one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and unfortunately for Real Madrid he has not been able to play a single minute this season due to tearing ligaments in his knee in training. Despite everything, the team knew how to recover by signing Kepa and Lunin, although they miss the Belgian a lot. In addition, a relapse in the other knee has once again left him out of the team for almost another entire year, so nothing new will be heard about him until next season.

Praise

The Austrian defender also injured his knee ligaments in a LaLiga match against Villarreal. This is the third injury of a Real Madrid player of this type this season and the white team is being one of the least fortunate in this regard, since three of the main players in the squad have suffered a similar injury and the three of the team's most defensive third. The player's return will still have to wait, and who knows if he could reach the last leg of the competition.

There will be no player who will miss this match due to suspension by Manchester City but in the case of Real Madrid, after seeing a yellow card in the first leg, Tchouamèni will miss this match due to accumulation of cards.
