Mbappe set for Real Madrid return against Man City

Madrid—Kylian Mbappe has been cleared to make his comeback from injury in Tuesday’s decisive Champions League last-16 second-leg clash against Manchester City, handing Real Madrid a major boost as they attempt to overturn the tie and secure passage to the quarter-finals.

The forward’s availability is expected to provide the Spanish giants with added firepower at a critical moment in the competition. With elimination looming, Madrid will rely on Mbappe’s pace and finishing ability to unlock a City defence that held firm in the first leg.

Kick-off is set for Tuesday evening at the Santiago Bernabéu, where the 14-time European champions hope the return of their marquee summer signing can tip the balance in their favour and keep their continental ambitions alive.
