Madrid has published their team list and contains no Mbappé.
Mbappé will not be in San Sebastián for the Copa del Rey match against Real Sociedad. Ancelotti -Misspoke at yesterday's press conference when he emphatically said: “He will travel”, causing a short shock. However, Mbappé has not recovered over time – he recently undergone a dental surgery and still experiences considerable pain.
His availability for the match against Betis is not questioning, nor is his participation in the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid, but he will indeed miss the Copa match. The club has communicated that he had a tough night, struggling to rest and after assessing the situation, Ancelotti agreed that he would not travel. He has received peace, which means that he will not be confronted with real Sociedad.
Valverde will also be absent. Although he trained yesterday, there is still some risk. He has been dealing with discomfort in his left thigh for a while and even had to play with an injection in the second stage against Manchester City. Although it is nothing serious, he needs rest.
He got a break against Girona and will be outside again tonight, skip the trip to the Reale Arena. This allows the Uruguayan to restore a full week and be 100% for the Champions League. It is not ideal, but it is necessary.
