How Real Madrid could line up against Manchester City

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Real Madrid could line up for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg with Manchester City.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has a number of injury doubts to contend with for the first leg of his side's Champions League semi-final with Manchester City at the Etihad on Tuesday night.

Eden Hazard, David Alaba, Luka Jovic and Mariano Diaz were all restricted to indoor work on Saturday, with Alaba having to come off in the midweek win over Osasuna due to thigh discomfort, but he has made the squad nonetheless.

Midfield regular Casemiro and left-back Ferland Mendy have also made themselves available for the trip to the Etihad, but the duo and Alaba may not be considered from the start by Ancelotti.

The Blancos boss will at least be boosted by the return of Eder Militao from a European suspension, and the Brazilian will likely partner Nacho Fernandez in front of Thibaut Courtois this week.

Lucas Vazquez made the net ripple against Osasuna but could now cede his spot to Dani Carvajal, and Marcelo should be fit enough to deputise for Mendy on the left if needed.

Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will both return to the engine room after recent rests, and it could be a massive night for Eduardo Camavinga if Casemiro is not passed fit to start the contest.

Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior's spots in the attack are nailed on, and Ancelotti may stick with Federico Valverde on the right over Marco Asensio or quarter-final saviour Rodrygo.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Marcelo; Kroos, Camavinga, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Junior
