MADRID (AP) \u2014 Kylian Mbappe<\/span> He has been left out of Real Madrid’s starting lineup for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Manchester City. <\/p>\n

Mbappe, who has scored 25 goals for Madrid this season, was placed on the bench after it was reported in Spain that he had suffered a minor knee injury. <\/p>\n

The forward was one of those complaining from Madrid’s bench when City scored the equalizer in the first half. Mbappe spoke to the fourth official and pointed out a possible foul on Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger when a corner kick cross entered the area.<\/p>\n

The visiting team led 2-1 at half-time at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u stadium.<\/p>\n

The French striker trained separately from his teammates on Tuesday, raising doubts about his availability for the game against City. <\/p>\n

Gonzalo Garc\u00eda has been named as Madrid’s point of attack in a game in which manager Xabi Alonso needs a win to ease into relief. the pressure on his position increases<\/span>. <\/p>\n
