Pep Guardiola issues Walker and Stones injury update
Kyle Walker will travel to Madrid as Pep Guardiola welcomes back more right-back options for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. John Stones started in that role for City in the first leg with Walker injured and Joao Cancelo suspended, with Fernandinho taking over in the first half when Stones went off injured.
The Brazilian veteran produced a superb cross for City's third goal but was then beaten too easily for Real's second goal immediately after. Walker, who has not featured for the Blues since suffering an ankle injury at Atletico last month, trained on Tuesday morning with the group and will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness ahead of Wednesday's game.

Guardiola is keen to see how the player reacts to training and how he feels tomorrow before making a decision. Stones will not be fit enough to make the semi-final having been sidelined since the previous game against Real when he rushed back from injury only to suffer another setback.

Carlo Ancelotti offers Real Madrid injury latest
Real Madrid will bring back Casemiro for their Champions League semi-final second leg vs City but will be without David Alaba, Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed.
Madrid were without injury doubt Casemiro for the first leg at the Etihad as he made the bench, but manager Ancelotti has indicated that the Brazilian midfielder will start the second leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday, with Real 4-3 down on aggregate.
However, they will definitely be without key centre-back Alaba, who is injured, with Nacho set to replace him at the back as Ancelotti also suggested that his side will not drop deeper in a bid to stop City's attacking threats.
