Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has named an ineligible player in his teams travelling squad to face Manchester City on Wednesday.

City hold the home advantage heading into the second-leg of the quarter-final Champions League tie with the aggregate score level at 3-3 after a thrilling previous encounter in the Spanish capital.

Ancelotti is determined to have every one of his top stars join the team for the trip to England and has included a midfielder suspended for the game in Madrid's 22-man squad.

Several Madrid players were riding their luck on yellow cards prior to City's trip to the Santiago Bernabeu and Aurelien Tchouameni's booking means he is unable to participate against City.

His booking against Pep Guardiola's side was the Frenchman's third in the competition this season and means he can play no part in the Etihad fixture.
