Vinicius back in Real Madrid squad for Champions League tie vs. Chelsea
The Brazilian missed the weekend win over Cadiz but is ready to travel to London
Real Madrid face their second 'final' against Chelsea in the Champions League after the 2-0 win in the first leg with a list of players without many new additions. Ferland Mendy is out through injury, and in his place Camavinga could continue at left-back. He is better positioned than Nacho to start. Vinicius also returns after missing the Cadiz win on Saturday.
Carlo Ancelotti will be able to design his XI thinking about getting a result that certifies a place in the semi-finals. Real Madrid visit Frank Lampard's 'new' Chelsea on Tuesday 18 April at 21:00 in the second leg of the quarter-final at Stamford Bridge.

The Real Madrid sqaud:
Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andrey Lunin, Luis López.
Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho Fernández, Álvaro Odriozola, Lucas Vázquez, Antonio Rüdiger.
Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouaméni, Dani Ceballos.
Forwards: Eden Hazard, Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mariano.
Madrid will be looking to put the brakes on Chelsea's hopes and ruin their dreams of a comeback from the first minute. To do so, Ancelotti will be able to count on all his trusted players and could repeat the same XI from the first leg, with Camavinga at left-back and Rodrygo accompanying Benzema and Vinicius.
The French striker was one of the scorers of the night along with Marco Asensio, who could be also be in contention to start on the trip to London. The Balearic player is in great form, having scored again against Cádiz.
