Real Madrid boss, Carlo Ancelotti has assured Real Madrid fans that France midfielder, Eduardo Camavinga will be fit enough to face Premier League champions, Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-final second leg on Wednesday.
Camavinga, who was immense for Los Blanco in the first leg of the UCL clash, twisted his knee during their 5-0 win over Getafe on Saturday at the Bernabeu.
Ancelotti made eight changes from the starting XI that drew 1-1 with Manchester City in the first leg in Madrid.
But Camavinga, who started against the Citizens on Tuesday night, limped off the pitch in the final minutes of the La Liga game.

The Italian tactician, however, allayed fears about his fitness ahead of their crucial UCL semi-final reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium in a few days.
Speaking after the convincing win over Getafe, Ancelotti said: “He (Camavinga) twisted his knee, but it’s just a knock.
“Tomorrow he’ll rest like everyone who played and I hope that on Monday he trains with the team.
“He’ll recover soon for sure. The knee is stable, he has some discomfort now but the important thing is the stability and he has that 100%. He has some discomfort in the knee but it’s nothing.”
