Real Madrid’s Defensive Trio Set to Return for Champions League Clash

Real Madrid has received a significant boost ahead of their crucial Champions League fixture against Manchester City. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that three key defensive players are on track to recover from their injuries in time for the match.

Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, and Lucas Vazquez are all expected to be available for the game scheduled on February 19th. However, the trio will continue to follow individualized training programs until Monday to ensure their full fitness.

This news comes as a relief for the Spanish giants, who will need all hands on deck for the high-stakes encounter against the English champions. The return leg of this Champions League tie will take place in Madrid, with Real Madrid looking to capitalize on their home advantage.

The availability of these experienced defenders will undoubtedly strengthen Real Madrid’s backline, providing Ancelotti with more tactical options as they face Manchester City’s formidable attacking force.
