Kylian Mbappé cleared for Copa del Rey Final

Real Madrid have been handed a boost after tests confirmed Kylian Mbappé did not suffer a serious ankle injury and will be available for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26th at La Cartuja.

Mbappé’s availability comes as a dose of relief for Madridistas still reeling from the club’s elimination at the hands of Arsenal in Europe. The French forward had to be substituted with 15 minutes remaining in the second leg, just as Real Madrid were chasing a miracle comeback.

The score was locked at 1-1 when Mbappé twisted his right ankle during a contested challenge, prompting immediate concern on the Madrid bench.

Initial signs were cautiously optimistic, with the club’s medical staff noting the absence of structural damage pending further imaging. Now, with radiological tests confirming the positive prognosis, Mbappé has been cleared to return in time for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.

Before the trip to Seville, Madrid will face Getafe in La Liga at the Coliseum. While Mbappé’s recovery is progressing well, it remains unlikely he will feature in that match. The medical staff are keeping a cautious approach, prioritizing his full fitness for the final over any domestic appearance beforehand.
