Mbappé Set to Return as Real Madrid Take on Man City

Real Madrid will be boosted by the return of Kylian Mbappé for their pivotal UEFA Champions League last‑16 second‑leg clash against Manchester City after recovering from a knee injury that sidelined him for the first leg.

Mbappé, who missed the 3‑0 home defeat to City, has trained with the squad and is expected to start at the Etihad Stadium as Los Blancos aim to overturn the deficit and progress to the next round.

Real manager Álvaro Arbeloa expressed his excitement at having his star forward back, highlighting the positive impact Mbappé brings to the team’s attack.

Midfielder Jude Bellingham has also traveled with the squad as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury, though he may not feature in the match.

Real Madrid hope the return of their key players will give them the edge needed to advance further in the Champions League.
