Kylian Mbappé Fit to Play for Real Madrid Against Real Sociedad
Real Madrid’s manager Álvaro Arbeloa has confirmed that Kylian Mbappé is fit to play against Real Sociedad. This announcement comes ahead of their LaLiga match on Saturday. Mbappé has scored an impressive 38 goals this season. However, his involvement in the upcoming match was uncertain after he spent two days training in the gym, away from his teammates.
Kylian Mbappé’s Fitness Update
Despite concerns, Mbappé trained with the team on Friday, clearing doubts about his readiness for the game. Arbeloa stated, “Yes, Kylian is fine. He’s trained with the group and he’s available for tomorrow’s game.” The French forward has been dealing with a persistent left-knee issue this season. This injury has caused him to miss significant matches, including crucial fixtures against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Real Madrid’s Current Form
Real Madrid is entering this match just one point behind league leaders Barcelona. The team has been in strong form, winning their last seven LaLiga games. However, they faced struggles in other competitions, recently losing 4-2 to Benfica, which resulted in their exit from the Champions League top eight.
Upcoming Match Against Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad, currently under the guidance of coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, is on an impressive 11-game unbeaten streak. This match promises to be a competitive encounter as both teams vie for crucial points.
Club Developments
In addition to player updates, Real Madrid recently made headlines by reaching an agreement with UEFA. This resolution ends a five-year dispute over the European Super League. Arbeloa commented on the agreement, highlighting its beneficial aspect for football.
Player Situation: Dani Carvajal
The situation of club captain Dani Carvajal has also raised questions. He has played only 27 minutes under Arbeloa’s management. When asked about Carvajal’s role, Arbeloa emphasized the importance of communication. He stated, “With Carvajal, like with everyone, I like to talk to them individually.”
