Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Kylian Mbappé and Ferland Mendy should be ready for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. However, both players will miss the upcoming La Liga match with Getafe.
ANCELOTTI UPDATES ON INJURIES
Ancelotti explained in his pre-match press conference that neither Mbappé nor Mendy will be available for Wednesday’s league game against Getafe. Both are recovering from injuries. Mbappé suffered an ankle injury during the recent Champions League match against Arsenal. Ancelotti is hopeful, saying, “They will not be available tomorrow, but I think they will both be ready for the final against Barça” .
REAL MADRID’S CURRENT FORM AND UPCOMING FIXTURE
Real Madrid remain top of La Liga after a narrow 1-0 win over Athletic Club last weekend. The team will face Getafe on Wednesday, aiming to extend their lead. After that, the focus will turn to Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Barcelona have also been in good form, setting up a high-stakes El Clásico final. The two teams are only a few points apart in the league, making every game important as the season nears its end .
MBAPPÉ’S IMPACT AND THE FINAL’S STAKES
Mbappé has already scored 33 goals in his first season at Madrid. However, his absence has been noticeable in recent games. The French forward is eager to return for one of the most important games of the season. Mendy’s return would also strengthen Madrid’s defense, which has faced injuries to key players. Winning the Copa del Rey would provide both a trophy and a morale boost ahead of the season’s end. Madrid aim for a domestic double, while Barcelona look to spoil their rivals’ plans .
