Real Madrid will be without Ferland Mendy for their Champions League trip to Chelsea this week, with Carlo Ancelotti otherwise boasting a fully-fit squad.
On Monday, the Spanish giants named their travelling party boarding the flight to London ahead of a training session at Stamford Bridge.
That confirmed Mendy’s absence due to a calf injury, suffered recently after his comeback from a long-term thigh problem.
Toni Kroos and Vinicius Jr were included after sitting out the weekend win at Cadiz, after which Ancelotti confirmed they would be fit for the quarter-final second leg.
David Alaba, Dani Carvajal and Luka Modric were on the bench for that victory and should return to the line-up, while Eduardo Camavinga and Nacho Fernandez will compete to start at left-back in Mendy’s absence.
