Real Madrid will be without Eden Hazard, Isco, Eder Militao and Jesus Vallejo for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Chelsea.

Real Madrid will be without the services of Eden Hazard, Isco, Eder Militao and Jesus Vallejo for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg with Chelsea at Bernabeu.

Hazard remains on the sidelines following a minor leg operation, while Isco is unavailable for selection due to a back complaint.

Vallejo is also absent after testing positive for coronavirus, while Militao is out through suspension, so Nacho is likely to feature in the middle of the defence alongside David Alaba.

Vallejo's absence has opened the door for 19-year-old Rafa Marin to make the squad.

There were fears that Ferland Mendy could miss out due to his recent injury problems, but the Frenchman trained on Monday and is expected to start the second leg with Chelsea.

Mariano Diaz and Luka Jovic have also returned to the squad following their recent issues, meaning that head coach Carlo Ancelotti has a strong list of attacking options.

Real Madrid will take a 3-1 lead into the second leg of the clash with the Blues, as Karim Benzema scored three times in the first match between the two teams last week.

Real Madrid squad:

Courtois, Lunin, Fuidias; Carvajal, Alaba, Nacho, Marcelo, Mendy, Marin; Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Ceballos, Vazquez, Camavinga; Benzema, Asensio, Jovic, Bale, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mariano
