Not traveling to Madrid Ake (leg) was not called up by Man City for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Real Madrid.

Impact Ake missed a few games in late April with a hamstring injury, but briefly returned to the XI for City's last two Premier League matches before suffering another leg injury in the win over Leeds United at the weekend. He's now been ruled out of the first leg of the UCL semifinals, with Kyle Walker or Aymeric Laporte likely to replace him in the back line against Real Madrid.

Picks up injury Saturday Ake suffered a leg injury in Saturday's game against Leeds United, Joe Bray of the Manchester City official site reports.

Impact Ake was spotted holding the back of his leg, and that's not a good sign considering the Citizens will play against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League next Tuesday. He was replaced by Kyle Walker against the Whites.

Starting against West Ham Ake (hamstring) is in Man City's starting lineup for Wednesday's clash against West Ham United.

Returns to training Ake (hamstring) was pictured back in training with Manchester City on Monday ahead of the mid-week clash against West Ham United.

Impact Ake has missed his side's last three games in all competitions since suffering a hamstring injury in the Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich. But he's making progress with his recovery and can hope to be fit enough to return to action against West Ham or Leeds this week before the UCL semifinals begin. Kyle Walker has been replacing Ake in the XI with Manuel Akanji sliding over to left-back.

Impact It sounds like Guardiola is being a tad generous with the injury, as Ake hasn't even been out 10 days since suffering the injury. He'll likely miss the next two league matches, but could be an option after that with the first leg against Real Madrid a possibility. Kyle Walker and Aymeric Laporte will continue to see starts on the back line.

Impact It's been a couple days since Ake pulled up in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich, which isn't a great sign if they still don't know the severity. This seems like a multi-week absence for Ake, possibly at best. Aymeric Laporte is next up for City, a former regular who has been relegated to the bench in recent key matches.
