Real Madrid vs Shakhtar Donetsk: Team news & key stats
Real Madrid may see Karim Benzema return after missing the weekend win over Elche as the Frenchman partook in training, but Carlo Ancelotti is set to be without Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos, Mariano Diaz and Federico Valverde on account of injuries.
Shakhtar, yet to score a goal in the Champions League this year, are sorely missing their injured forwards in Lassina Traore and Junior Moraes, with defender Mykola Matvienko also ruled out, and midfielder Pedrinho unlikely to return either.
