Benzema leads Real Madrid UCL squad list to face Chelsea as Hazard in

Zinedine Zidane has been able to include Toni Kroos in Real Madrid's squad list for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie against Chelsea at the Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano on Tuesday night.

The French coach is without the injured trio of Sergio Ramos, Lucas Vazquez and Ferland Mendy, as well as the COVID-infected Fede Valverde, so he has looked towards Castilla in search of reinforcements.

Antonio Blanco, who started against Cadiz and came off the bench against Real Betis, has been called up once again, as have Sergio Arribas and Miguel Gutierrez. In the case of Miguel, he will act as cover for the injured Mendy.
