Real Madrid are all set to welcome two players back into the squad ahead of their clash against Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. The first leg of the semi-final will be played on Tuesday, April 30, at the Allianz Arena.
As per Radio MARCA, Brazilian striker Rodrygo and French defender Ferland Mendy have both recovered and are fit to face Bayern Munich on Tuesday.
Rodrygo was reportedly suffering from a flu and did not attend training earlier this week. He was not a part of Carlos Ancelotti's squad for Real Madrid's clash against Real Sociedad on Friday night (April 26) but was a starter in the El Clasico on April 21.
Ferland Mendy was unavailable for both the Clasico and the fixture against Real Sociedad, owing to his fitness woes following the second leg of their UCL quarter-final tie against Manchester City.
