Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos and left-back Ferland Mendy are set to start in Wednesday night’s Champions League semi final second leg against Chelsea.
Both players missed the first leg through injury
but both are now in contention to start the return leg in London with the score
poised at 1-1, as per a report in Diario AS.
Fede Valverde will
only find out if he can travel prior to the matchday squad being confirmed.
There is a blow for Los Blancos with Raphael
Varane set to miss out through injury – meaning Ramos is likely
to be partnered by Eder Militao in
the heart of the defence with Nacho
Fernandez also likely to start.
Ramos has suffered from a knee injury and muscular
problems this year and he has only recently recovered from Covid-19, in a period
of time in which he has been blighted by misfortune.
Right-back Dani Carvajal will
miss the rest of the season through injury and joins Lucas Vazquez on
the absentee list, with Varane also out.
