A clash at the Etihad Stadium will decide Real Madrid’s fate in the tournament this season and Carlo Ancelotti faces some key calls on his line up.

France international Aurelien Tchouameni covered at centre back in the first leg but he misses the return game due to suspension.

Ancelotti is considering his options to replace Tchouameni and Militao will start in their La Liga clash at Mallorca this weekend.

As per the latest from Mundo Deportivo, Ancelotti is willing to roll the dice and start Militao in Manchester, if he comes through unscathed against Mallorca.

The Brazilian defender has played just one minute of action since suffering a knee injury in the opening game of the campaign and his inclusion would be a major risk by Ancelotti.
