Real Madrid will face Benfica in the second leg of their Champions League tie with the knowledge that the Portuguese side will be missing one of their key men.

It has now been officially confirmed that Benfica's appeal against Prestianni's suspension has been rejected. The Argentine midfielder will definitely not feature in the decisive clash against the Spanish giants.

Meanwhile, uncertainty continues to surround Jude Bellingham's return. No one within the Real Madrid camp has been able to offer a clear timeline for his comeback, with no definitive date yet set for his reintegration.
