But the attention is not only on the field but also on one man: Kylian Mbappé. Will the world-class French forward, nursing an injury, lead the charge forMadrid in the much-awaited clash?

Injury Cloud Hovers Over Mbappé’s Participation

though Mbappé has traveled with the team to Séville and is officially on the squad list, his appearance in the game is still uncertain. Internal discussions within Real Madrid suggest that the player’s training sessions have not been fully satisfying, with a final decision to be made during today’s morning training session, as quoted by COPE and AS.

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s coach, is expected to communicate directly with Mbappé to determine his availability for the game. In his absence, Rodrygo is likely to start in the lineup.
