Real Madrid haven't had the finest season overall. But in terms of injuries, things have been far worse. Some of the most significant players at Los Blancos have been unable to perform at their peak owing to continual woes.
Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao have been sidelined for a long time, but the two are now anticipated to be healthy for the next Club World Cup. Both goalkeepers have been suffering from pain but are nevertheless playing at their best.
David Alaba's game has changed following his injury. Ferland Mendy is still out, although he is expected to recover soon. Dani Ceballos is fresh off the bench and played several minutes in the second leg against Arsenal.
When Kylian Mbappe went for a challenge on Declan Rice in that same game, he sprained his right ankle and collapsed to the ground, which caused him pain. He was unable to continue and had to hobble off the field.
Though he did not impress in either leg against Arsenal, he remains an essential player for Real Madrid's offense, and his presence is crucial in the next games.
Kylian Mbappe may not be out of the Copa Del Rey final
After the game, the Frenchman was given some time to recover before having his ankle tested. According to Diario AS, the player's MRI results showed nothing to worry about and merely a moderate sprain, which would not keep him out for long.
According to the test results, Mbappe would just need a few days of relaxation and some physiotherapy to get back on track.
He will relax for the encounter on Sunday. Anyway, his challenge on Antonio Blanco last weekend resulted in a game suspension. So the ban came at the ideal time, and the athlete will receive some much-needed rest.
Los Blancos will face arch rivals FC Barcelona for the third time this season in less than ten days, and Mbappe's participation will be critical to determining the outcome, despite expectations for this club are low.
