Karim Benzema will be available for Real Madrid, as the Los Blancos take on Liverpool in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 clash on Wednesday.

The French striker was on target twice, as the Los Blancos beat Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield three weeks ago.

Benzema missed last weekend’s match against Espanyol, but according to Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, the forward is back and available to face Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Meanwhile, Madrid are still expected to be without David Alaba and Ferland Mendy for Wednesday’s game, opening up a battle between Nacho Fernandez and Eduardo Camavinga at left-back.
