Both Real Madrid and Manchester City have completed injuries in recent months because they have trouble finding their groove. Even more in front of Pep Guardiola, but they have received big news that their season could change.
Because of the play-off Los Blancos will first travel to Manchester to City at Etihad. They will be without Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, but in the past week they have been struck with a double blow that will neither Antonio Rudiger nor David Alaba are suitable for the first collision and his doubts for the second. That will remain somewhat worn out in the defense, where young people fight Jacobo Ramon and Raul Asencio for a place.
Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni could also fall back in the defense, and Fede Valverde has also seen the game time on the right back in recent weeks, although this clearly weakens their midfield. That is where all the problems of Manchester City started this season, when Rodri Hernandez went down with a cruciate ligament injury. The Spain star could be back before the end of the season, you could assume, provided that the city would be far enough.
Rodri may not be back in time for their collision with Real Madrid, but he was admitted to the Manchester City team for the Champions League. New signature Nico Gonzalez will be available in midfield, after his relocation of € 60 million from Porto. The former midfielder of Barcelona has been admitted in addition to colleagues Omar Marmoush (€ 70 million) and Abdukodir Khusanov (€ 40 million), who have arrived from Eintracht Frankfurt and RC -Lens respectively. However, their other signing of January, Vorror Reis, has been omitted.
It is not clear whether Khusanov will stand in line for a starting role, but will certainly want to play Marmoush and Nico against Los Blancos. City was beaten 5-1 last weekend by Arsenal and will be confronted with Leyton Orient in the FA Cup this weekend before Los Blancos arrives.
