Mbappé and Bellingham Back for Real Madrid’s Crucial Manchester City Showdown
Real Madrid have received a major boost ahead of their Champions League second leg against Manchester City. Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham are both included in the travelling squad after recovering from knee and thigh injuries. Mbappé missed the first-leg win as he followed a conservative treatment plan to avoid surgery. Bellingham also returned ahead of schedule after a thigh issue kept him out since early February. Holding a 3-0 aggregate lead thanks to a Federico Valverde hat-trick, manager Alvaro Arbeloa can now call on his key stars if City threatens to overturn the deficit. Both are likely to start on the bench at the Etihad Stadium, ready to make an impact and help Madrid chase a 16th Champions League title.
