Real Madrid faced a setback in the Champions League against Arsenal, with Kylian Mbappe sustaining a twisted ankle injury that forced him off the pitch with 18 minutes remaining. As the team's leading goal scorer this season with 32 goals in 49 games, Mbappe's availability for the upcoming Real Madrid-Barcelona Copa del Rey final is uncertain pending further assessment by the medical team. Although the injury is described as 'light', his participation in the final will depend on how quickly he recovers.
Due to his red card against Alaves, Mbappe is suspended for the upcoming match against Athletic Club and may be a doubt for the subsequent fixture against Getafe. Real Madrid has coped without Mbappe in a few games this season, achieving mixed results in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti will be eager to have his star forward fit and ready for the crucial clash against Barcelona on April 26 to boost their chances in the final.
