Van Gaal picks from strong squad

- MAN CITY

Manchester City playmaker David Silva is back in contention after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna are also available again after back problems, meaning City virtually have a fully-fit squad as Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid draws closer. Midfielder Samir Nasri - who is not registered to play in Europe - is the only notable absentee with a muscle problem.

Provisional squad: Hart, Caballero, Sagna, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Mangala, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov, Clichy, Delph, Toure, Fernando, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Sterling, Silva, Navas, Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho.
