Team news & squads
Manchester City team news
Nico Gonzalez was forced off injured with a knock in Saturday's come-from-behind FA Cup win against Leyton Orient, so the midfielder's availability over here remains a doubt.
Elsewhere, City manager Pep Guardiola will be without Rodri due to an ACL injury; while facing injury woes with Oscar Bobb, Nathan Ake, Jeremy Doku and Ederson as well.
Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and a host of regular starters will be back in the XI.
Real Madrid team news
Los Blancos boss Carlos Ancelotti is dealt with lack of options at the back after Lucas Vazquez picked up a fresh hamstring injury, joining Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao and David Alaba on the treatment table.
Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Endrick and Aurelien Tchouameni, besides Ancelotti himself, are all a yellow card away from a ban. However, a strong line-up will be warranted.
Tchouameni will once again be required to engage as a centre-back alongside Raul Asencio.
