MADRID — Kylian Mbappé is back in Real Madrid’s squad for the second leg against Manchester City in the Champions League’s round of 16 on Tuesday.
The France striker hasn’t played since Feb. 21 because of a knee problem. He has missed five matches in all competitions, including Madrid's 3-0 win over City in the first leg last week.
