Eduardo Camavinga is ruled out of the return following his late dismissal at the Emirates. The French midfielder – who scored the winner against Alaves in La Liga at the weekend – picked up a second booking for delaying the restart.
Camavinga’s absence is combatted by the return of Aurelien Tchouameni, who missed the first leg through suspension. Kylian Mbappe is free to feature despite his red card in La Liga at the weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti remains without several senior names through injury, including ACL victims Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao. Ferdland Mendy is also a major doubt.
