Real Madrid Confidencial What's Wrong With Mbappé? the Reason He Hasn't Trained Ahead of the Cup
The French footballer missed the session, but he'll be available to play against Real Sociedad.
Real Madrid is already preparing for the first leg of the Copa del Rey match against Real Sociedad. The Madrid team will visit the Reale Arena in search of a good result for the return match at Santiago Bernabéu.
The morning's news was Kylian Mbappé. The Frenchman didn't participate in the training session before the match against Real Sociedad due to a dental procedure. Although explanations from Ancelotti are still awaited, it seems the forward might rest in the Copa.
The Italian's plan would be to reserve Kylian Mbappé so that he arrives in top form for the LaLiga match against Real Betis. Additionally, this would also allow him to face the Champions League match against Atlético with more rest in his legs.
Kylian Mbappé Had a Tooth Problem
The procedure, which was simple and already planned, prevented Kylian Mbappé from training today. However, there is no cause for concern for the Real Madrid player, as this dental issue could serve as an opportunity for him to rest. This way, the player avoids potential setbacks before the match against Betis and ahead of the clash against Atlético.
It's not the case for Fede Valverde, but Kylian Mbappé is one of the footballers who has had the least rest time this season. The French forward has played 39 matches and scored 28 goals, already surpassing 3,000 minutes played. Therefore, this brief rest could be beneficial for him, especially before the demanding schedule Real Madrid will face.
Thibaut Courtois, Absent from Training
Thibaut Courtois was also absent from training, having been one of the standout players in the match against Girona. The Belgian isn't participating in the Copa, which has been assigned to Lunin this year, and Ancelotti is taking the opportunity to give him some rest.
These two absences are joined by the already confirmed absence of Fede Valverde, who is currently the player receiving the most precautions. The Uruguayan has been dealing with hamstring issues for a month. This injury forced him to play at the limit in the match against Manchester City, so he will now rest.
