Real Madrid faces Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals, but will be without defender Ferland Mendy, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury. Eder Militao returns after a five-month absence, partnering Antonio Rudiger, while Alvaro Carreras is set to fill in for Mendy. Coach Alvaro Arbeloa is deciding between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal for the right-back position. Mendy’s absence is significant as he has been reliable in important matches, increasing pressure on Carreras to perform against Bayern.
