The end of Kylian Mbappé’s season is at the heart of all debates. Indeed, the French striker is currently in the infirmary. Injured since the end of April with Real Madrid, the striker still had the opportunity to postpone one of his exams yesterday, since his recovery would take place in good conditions. However, his presence for the Clásico against FC Barcelona still remains uncertain. On the Cadena SERjournalist Javier Herráez notably explained that a final test should make it possible to determine whether the attacker is able to travel with the group before the meeting scheduled for Sunday. “If he doesn’t train with the rest of his teammates, it’s not just that he won’t start, it’s maybe that he won’t even travel. We’ll see if he sets foot on the pitch for a while, but otherwise he might not even make the trip.”.
For his part, for Antonio Romero, this management of the Mbappé file is mainly explained by the desire of the 27-year-old player to arrive in the best possible conditions for the 2026 World Cup this summer, and here again, his choice could fuel tensions in the Spanish capital. “I think that Mbappé has been managing his physique for a while in order to arrive in the best possible conditions at the final phase of the World Cup. We must remember that at the Euro he had bad luck with his broken nose and that he was criticized in his country because he could not be the expected leader. I don’t think he wants to go through that again. Then, I can’t imagine a player like Kylian Mbappé missing a Clásico at this time of the season. His image is also at stake. If he misses this match, pay attention to the perception of the supporters”detailed the journalist.
