Manchester City have a number of defensive concerns ahead of their Champions League quarter-final first leg in Madrid on Tuesday
Manchester City left for Madrid without Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake as they look to get a result without two of their most reliable players.
Walker came out to do an individual training session on Monday as the rest of the squad prepared for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but has not been deemed fit enough to travel. Ake missed training completely and has been ruled out.ALSO READ: Real Madrid given 'dark arts' warning as Carlo Ancelotti gives two things he doesn't want to see
City also have a concern over a fourth defender, with Ruben Dias one yellow card away from picking up a one-match ban in the competition. Despite the issues in the City squad, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti - who will himself be without first choice goalkeeper Thibault Courtois - thinks the Blues have more than enough quality to cope with the absences.
