Injuries & Absentees
Real Madrid is grappling with a significant injury crisis, especially in defense. Eder Militao is out for several months with a hamstring injury, Dani Carvajal is sidelined until next year after knee surgery, and Trent Alexander-Arnold is out until March 2026 due to a hamstring issue. Ferland Mendy is also expected to miss the remainder of 2025 with a hamstring injury, with David Alaba and Dean Huijsen also nursing muscle strains. Eduardo Camavinga is a fresh absentee with an ankle issue and did not train. Adding to their woes, star forward Kylian Mbappé is a major doubt for the match due to a fractured finger and left thigh discomfort, having missed training. For Manchester City, key midfielder Rodri is still recovering from a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for a few more weeks. Mateo Kovacic is sidelined with an ankle problem and is not expected back until the 'last part of the season'. Defender John Stones also missed City's last game with a leg injury, and his availability for this match is uncertain.
