Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has put Real Sociedad off the path, or has just changed his mind, but what is certain that Los Blancos will be without three important players for their collision in the Copa del Rey. Kylian Mbappe has been omitted from their semi-final first leg team in Anoeta.
Mbappe underwent an operation to remove a tooth on Monday that had given him pain and made sure he had missed the training on Tuesday. Ancelotti, however, had told the press that 'he will travel' to Donostia-San Sebastian when asked. He also did not throw away the presence of Fede Valverde, who was tipped to rest against Real Sociedad, after he had played with painkillers against Manchester City last week.
It was always predicted that Thibaut Courtois would rest, allowing Andriy Lunin to play in the goal, but both Valverde and Mbappe were omitted from their team to prevent real Sociedad. Diario like say that after a bad night with a lot of pain, Ancelotti decided to eventually leave Mbappe away, although he will be available against real betis this weekend.
In the meantime, Valverde does train, but the discomfort for muscle muscles nursing and Los Blancos decided that it would not have been worth the risk that would have existed if he had played in the Reale Arena. The goal is that he is 100% for their collision with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League next week. In the meantime, Jesus Vallejo has also stopped from the team. He has sustained a thigh muscle injury and is probably out for a few weeks.
However, his absence is described as unimportant, since he would not have played anyway. With his contract at the end of the season, Ancelotti reportedly decided that he played his last minutes before the club, which could only be seen for 10 minutes throughout the season.
