Early team news for Man City clash: ONE player already tipped not to start

Real Madrid host Man City in the quarterfinal of the Champions League on April 9. Los Blancos will be aiming for victory before the return leg in Manchester. 

However, their preparations have been hampered by Thibaut Courtois' injury setback. While Eder Militao is well on track to return, he is unlikely to start the game.

Militao featured in a bounce match between the Real Madrid first team and Castilla on Wednesday. He was said to have left a good impression, having suffered no reaction to his previous injury.

However, a report claims that the Brazilian won't be ready to start the game at the Bernabeu as he still lacks sharpness. 

Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni could continue at the back against the reigning champions. 

Eder Militao returns to action after 7 months
