Aurelien Tchouameni is fit to start for Real Madrid in tonight’s clash against Bayern Munich, as they look to reach yet another Champions League final.
The midfielder played the full 90 minutes in last week’s 2-2 first-leg draw at the Allianz Arena but limped out of training late last week.

Tchouameni was an unused substitute for Madrid’s 3-0 win over Cadiz on Saturday as the giants of Spanish football were crowned LaLiga champions for the 36th time, but he has recovered and again starts in midfield.
David Alaba is the only other absentee, with Thibaut Courtois having returned from injury and he is on the bench at the Santiago Bernabeu as rival Andriy Lunin keeps his spot in goal under Carlo Ancelotti.
There is just one change to the Real side from the first leg, as Dani Carvajal returns from suspension and Lucas Vazquez drops out.
For Bayern, the story is very different. Both Raphael Guerreiro and Eric Dier were forced off during their Bundesliga loss to Stuttgart on Saturday, while decisions will need to be made over Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano.
Sacha Boey, Bouna Sarr and Kingsley Coman are all definitely out injured, meanwhile.
Borussia Dortmund await in the final after beating Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
