The France striker hasn’t played since Feb. 21 because of a knee problem. He has missed five matches in all competitions, including Madrid’s 3-0 win over City in the first leg last week.
Mbappe was selected in a 26-man squad announced by Madrid on Monday. Also included was England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who has been sidelined since Feb. 1 because of a thigh injury.
Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa will conduct his pre-match news conference later Monday, when he might give an indication if Mbappe and Bellingham are healthy enough to start at Etihad Stadium.
