Manchester City have confirmed that Raheem Sterling is ‘in contention to start’ against Real Madrid after making a full recovery from a hamstring injury that he picked up in City’s 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur (February 2).
The 25-year-old returned to training ahead of the Sky Blues’ 1-0 win over Leicester City (February 22) and Pep Guardiola said earlier in the week that Sterling could be available for selection on Wednesday. He was in the squad that travelled to Madrid and will hope to play a part against Real.
