Khaberni - All eyes are on the situation of Kylian Mbappe before the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, scheduled for Sunday in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, amidst the uncertainty surrounding his participation after recovering from injury and his return to group training on Saturday.
The Spanish newspaper Marca reported that, according to data, Real Madrid's technical staff is handling Mbappe's situation cautiously after deciding to reintroduce him gradually following his recovery, which suggests the likelihood of him being on the bench in the match, with the opportunity being given to Gonzalo to start as a forward.
It stated: "Mbappe's return to training hours before the final has reopened the door to speculations about his possible participation, even for minutes, especially since the player showed good physical readiness during the last training session, without the technical staff wanting to risk playing him from the start after a period of absence."
It added: "If he is on the bench, Mbappe will remain an important option for Real Madrid during the course of the match, in anticipation of any technical or physical developments, in a game expected to have a high rhythm against Barcelona, which makes the decision to play him dependent on the scenario of the confrontation and calculations of the technical staff."
It concluded: "The Super Cup final represents a crucial test for Real Madrid, both in terms of winning and managing the readiness of its stars, including Mbappe, whose presence can be influential even if he does not start the game."
