The left-back began the first leg of the quarter-final at Stamford Bridge.
Ferland Mendy Injury Update, News, Return Date And Real Madrid Injured Players List Ahead Of Champions League Match vs Chelsea
Owing to a muscular problem, he was unable to play in the subsequent La Liga triumph over Getafe.
Madrid announced their 23-man matchday squad on Monday, with Ferland Mendy returning from a muscle injury and Castilla defender Rafa Marin being called up.
Real named their 23-man squad for the return game on Monday, which included Mendy. The injured trio of Luka Jovic (ankle), Isco (back), and Eden Hazard (ankle) were all absent.
After testing positive for Covid, Jesus Vallejo will miss the game, while Eder Militao is sidelined after receiving his third booking of the tournament in west London. As a result, Nacho Fernandez and David Alaba should form a centre-back partnership.
Real Madrid Team Formation
When the sides meet again on Tuesday, Carlo Ancelotti could choose the same Real Madrid team that defeated Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final encounter.
For the triumph at Stamford Bridge, Los Blancos moved to a 4-4-2 system, putting them in a position to face either Manchester City or local rivals Atletico Madrid in the final four.
Vinicius Junior had a free role around Karim Benzema up top that night, thanks to Federico Valverde’s play on the right side of midfield. While Madrid’s preferred midfield formation is a three-man midfield, Ancelotti may be pleased to duplicate his first-leg success at the Bernabeu.
Rafa Marin to Join Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti has called up Rafa Marin from his reserves to reinforce his defensive options.
The 19-year-old is yet to make his senior Madrid debut, although he has appeared on the bench three times this season, having been promoted from his normal position in the Castilla team.
Here is list of all the injured and suspended players of Real Madrid Club Football.
