Images of Rudiger and Alaba taking part in a Real Madrid training session have surfaced on social media over the weekend and Ancelotti will likely provide an update on the pair when he faces the media on Tuesday.
Defenders Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba have returned to training and look set to be available for selection in Wednesday’s knockout phase playoff second leg.
Rudiger and Alaba missed the first-leg last week through injury as manager Carlo Ancelotti was forced to name a makeshift back four with Lucas Vazquez also sidelined.
Speaking after the win at the Etihad Stadium, Ancelotti sounded hopeful that the defensive pair would return for the second leg.
“We need Rudiger and Alaba for the return leg and I think they'll be available,” he told reporters.
