Real Madrid has officially disclosed the list of players selected for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Atlético Madrid. Notably, Federico Valverde has been included in the squad, marking his return after a period of absence due to injury.
Real Madrid will have Federico Valverde available for the first leg of their Champions League derby against Atlético Madrid. The Uruguayan midfielder, who has been absent from recent fixtures due to injury, has been included in the announced squad.
