Real Madrid has tackled enough injuries in recent seasons to last for ten years, and only 24 hours before their second leg Derby collision with Atletico Madrid, all the attention was to sign Kylian Mbappe, but not for his contributions on the field. The French superstar missed the first half of their pre-match training session, but seems to start.
There have been mixed reports about his fitness, where some claim that Mbappe is recovering from a blow to his ankle on Sunday against Rayo Vallecano, when he was replaced after 78 minutes without a noticeable injury. Others say he has muscular discomfort. Mbappe spent the first half hour of their training session on Tuesday evening in the gym in preventive work against injuries before he came to his teammates.
He was considered a doubt for the game, and as a result of the uncertainty about his fitness delayed Real Madrid the release of their matchday team. Mbappe is included in the team and Marca says he is ready to start the Metropolitano for the first time in his career. While the coaching staff, aware of the intense game that awaits them, want all their players to be 100% if they want to start, the 'sensations' of Mbappe are good and they feel ready to start.
