Real Madrid will be without several important players when they are confronted with Manchester City.
The Mammoet Tie First Been takes place on Tuesday evening in the Etihad.
And the wrong town has received a welcome boost with the news that Real Madrid has called an improvised defense.
The Liga leaders have not been to their userstega in Europe this season, and they have twice suffered from heavy defeats to Barcelona this campaign.
And they will be without different experienced defenders for their journey to Eastlands, including Center-Backs David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Eer Militao.
That means that Aurelien Tchouameni, a natural midfielder, will have to cover in the heart of the backline – possibly alongside younger Raúl Asencio who started against Atletico Madrid in the weekend.
The derby ended in a 1-1 draw despite the backline of Real's Rag tag.
But they also lost right back and captain Lucas Vazquez to injury, because they would have been in that position Dani Carvajal without their first choice.
The Veterdader is missing for a large part of the Missing and Manager Carlo Ancelotti campaign, instead, calls Jesus Vallejo.
He has been selected for the MatchDay team together with five other defenders – Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Fran Garcia, Jacobo Ramon and Lorenzo Aguado.

That could give City the much needed encouragement after they were defeated by Real Madrid last year in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
City has also struggled in Europe this season and won only three of their eight competition phase matches.
But they will have a fresh Erling Haaland that leads the line while the striker from the FA Cup victory was on Leyton Orient on Saturday.
Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol and Jeremy Doku were also equipped, although the new signing Nico Gonzalez was injured.
