Mbappe remains doubtful for their second-leg clash against City.
According to reports, Kylian Mbappe will fly to England with the Real Madrid team on Monday. The attacker is fighting to be available for Alvaro Arbeloa in this crucial Champions League last-16 second leg against Manchester City. The player is desperate to avoid having to watch from the sidelines.
The Frenchman is keen to assist his team in navigating the Etihad cauldron and earn a position in the UCL quarterfinals after missing recent games.
The French player is aware of the importance of the game and does not want to avoid his obligation. According to a report by AS, his left knee has clearly improved after following a conservative treatment regimen for the past three weeks.
Even though he might not be fully fit just yet, his advancements have made it possible for him to be a vital member of the squad on matchday against Pep Guardiola’s team.
Kylian Mbappe’s new role revealed ahead of City game
According to the article, Kylian Mbappe will probably start the game on the bench despite being the Blancos’ lucky charm. This is similar to how he was deployed as a high-impact weapon later in the Spanish Super Cup final versus Barcelona.
According to recent reports, the pain is also going away, and his quick recovery in Valdebebas supports the medical staff’s choice to forego surgery.
