The Frenchman missed the previous match due to an injury.

Ahead of the most crucial game on the LaLiga schedule, Real Madrid will breathe a sigh of relief as their star player, Kylian Mbappe, is expected to feature in El Clásico.

Melchor Ruiz on Cadena COPE reports that Kylian Mbappé passed the most recent medical examinations and is anticipated to play for Álvaro Arbeloa’s team against FC Barcelona.

The French forward was putting in a lot of effort to speed up his recuperation as he had been experiencing muscle soreness.

The team is in a good mood after the training session, and the coaching staff is banking on him to spearhead the attack at Camp Nou on Sunday.

There is a lot of media anxiety surrounding this news. Real Madrid‘s number 10 was criticised during his recuperation as pictures from his days off were made public.

When the team needed him, his public appearances on boats and with his partner during a trip to Italy provoked heated discussion about his dedication and professionalism.

Now that he has received medical clearance, Mbappé can react where he most wants to—on the field. His participation in the El Clásico will give a squad trying to retake the top rank in the domestic league vital moral assistance.

Despite Real Madrid’s approaching trophyless year, Mbappe is having an amazing season with 41 goals and six assists. Ahead of a potentially pivotal El Clásico comeback, there is additional pressure due to his perceived individualism, lack of synergy with teammates in attack, defensive work rate, and leadership.

How many goals has Kylian Mbappe scored this season?

24 goals in the league.

How many goals has Kylian Mbappe scored against Barcelona?

He has netted 12 goals against them in just 10 games.

Where do Los Blancos stand in the league?

They are second in the LaLiga table.
