Real Madrid midfielder Arda Guler is expected to be fit for the Spanish team's game against Liverpool on Tuesday. There were concerns when Guler had to leave the field during Madrid's win against Valencia over the weekend with an apparent ankle problem.

Guler has lined up in all three of Madrid's Champions League games so far, and will almost certainly start at Anfield if he is deemed fit to do so. As for Liverpool, Arne Slot will provide an update on the state of his squad later today - he was without five players for Saturday's win over Aston Villa.

Slot's most recent comments about the pair came during a press conference last Friday, when he said that they were 99.9 per cent certain to miss out on the game against Villa.
