Ronaldo, Benzema in Real Madrid squad for Manchester City clash

Real Madrid stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema were both included in coach Zinedine Zidane's squad for the club's Champions League semi-final, first leg at Manchester City on Tuesday despite fitness doubts.

Three-time World Player of the Year Ronaldo missed Saturday's 3-2 win at Rayo Vallecano with a minor thigh injury, but is expected to start on his return to Manchester, where he spent six years with Manchester United between 2003 and 2009.

Benzema is a bigger doubt after limping off with a knee injury before half-time at Rayo.

Right-back Dani Carvajal also returns after two games out as Zidane has called-up all 23 available players for the trip to the Etihad.
