Mbappé and Bellingham Return for Madrid vs. City Clash

Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham have been included in Real Madrid's squad for the UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City, scheduled for Tuesday night. Both players had previously missed matches due to injuries; Mbappé, 27, suffered a left knee sprain on February 21 against Osasuna, while Bellingham limped off in a league game against Rayo Vallecano on February 1 with a hamstring injury.

Initial forecasts suggested Bellingham would be sidelined for around four weeks, but further tests revealed the injury was more serious. Real Madrid currently holds a 3-0 advantage from the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where Federico Valverde scored a first-half hat trick.

The team aims to protect their lead at the Etihad Stadium, knowing that Manchester City will need an extraordinary performance to overturn the deficit.
