Getty Real Madrid is expected to receive a major boost ahead of their UEFA Champions League rematch with Manchester City . Los Blancos easily brushed aside their English counterparts without superstar Kylian Mbappe on March 11. The dynamic forward has been dealing with a knee issue off and on since December. Although he has avoided surgery , the injury has forced Mbappe to miss four consecutive Real matchups. Midfielder Federico Valverde helped fill the superstar’s void against City midweek.
