JAKARTA - Manchester City will host Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Tuesday, April 26 local time or Wednesday April 27 in the morning WIB. Both teams may not be able to go down with the best composition.

Two Real Madrid players, Casemiro and David Alaba, have indeed recovered from injury. However, it is likely that the two players will not be used in the match against Manchester City at the Etihad later.

"There is a question mark for Alaba and an even bigger question mark regarding Casemiro," Ancelotti said, quoted by Antara from Real Madrid's official website.

"Casemiro is fighting hard to recover and he is so close. If he can't recover for tomorrow's match, he will be involved for the next match," he continued.

In the Manchester City camp, Kyle Walker and John Stones are also doubtful to appear in this match. Manager Pep Guardiola said the two players had not trained for a long time.

"(Their status) is in doubt, they haven't trained in the last week, maybe 10 days, John since Brighton. We'll see how they feel, and we'll take a decision later," Guardiola told City's official website.

Walker has been sidelined with an ankle injury since the quarter-final second leg at Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Stones complained of muscle tension after the match against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Apart from Walker and Stones, Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake are also still being monitored. These two players played with pain when City met Watford.

One player who has been confirmed to be absent from the Manchester City versus Real Madrid match is Joao Cancelo due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
