David Alaba will Wednesday play in Real Madrid's matchday squad for the semi-final of their Champions League with Manchester City on Wednesday night, May 4.
The Austrian was forced off at the interval in the first leg last Tuesday. Hence, he missed Los Blancos' title-winning victory over Espanyol on Saturday. He has been included as an option to play against Pep Guardiola's charges.
Carlo Ancelotti may still start with Nacho Fernandez alongside Eder Militao in the heart of the defence, or he might opt for the Brazilian's regular centre-back partner in Alaba.

The Italian coach also has a key decision to make over whether to name Rodrygo Goes or Fede Valverde in his starting XI.
The three players who have not been included in the squad are: Isco, Gareth Bale, and Eden Hazard.
The Welshman is still dealing with a back problem, while the Malaga-born midfielder is suffering from the flu. The Belgian is still recovering from ankle surgery.
