Real Madrid have made a final decision regarding Kylian Mbappé’s availability for this Sunday’s Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona in Jeddah.
After missing the semifinal victory over Atlético Madrid due to a lingering knee sprain, the French superstar is officially set to rejoin the squad.
Manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that Mbappé’s recovery has progressed significantly, stating, “He feels much better and has a real chance to play.”
Key Updates on Kylian Mbappé’s Status:
- Travel Plans: Mbappé is scheduled to fly to Saudi Arabia within the next 24 hours after completing a final individual training session in Madrid.
- Training Schedule: He is expected to participate in the full team training session on Saturday, the final workout before the showdown with Barcelona.
- Starting Likelihood: While a final decision will depend on his fitness on the eve of the match, reports from Spain suggest there is growing optimism that he could even feature in the starting XI.
The 27-year-old forward has been Madrid’s most clinical weapon this season, and his return comes at the perfect time as Los Blancos seek revenge against Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, who defeated them in last year’s final.
