Unavailable for Clasico
Mbappe (hamstring) was not included in the squad for Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona after withdrawing from the final part of Saturday's training session, with the semitendinosus injury in his left leg failing to heal in time, according to the club.
Analysis: Mbappe's late withdrawal is a significant blow for Real Madrid after he had passed his fitness tests Thursday and appeared to be closing in on a return. The setback during Saturday's session ultimately proved decisive, forcing the coaching staff to leave him out of the squad for one of the most high-profile fixtures of the season. Vinicius Junior will lead the attack in his absence, with Brahim Diaz and Gonzalo Garcia among the other options available to coach Alvaro Arbeloa. The Merengues will now hope Mbappe can recover fully before the final fixtures of the campaign.
Should be available for Clasico
Mbappe (hamstring) trained in full Friday and should be an option for Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona, the club posted.
Analysis: Mbappe had passed his fitness tests Thursday after completing a brief session with the group, and a full training session on Friday is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to feature in one of the biggest fixtures of the season. Whether he starts or is eased back from the bench will be coach Alvaro Arbeloa's call, with Vinicius Junior expected to lead the attack regardless. Getting Mbappe available at all for the Clasico is a significant boost for Real Madrid heading into what is one of their last major opportunities to make a statement in a difficult domestic season.
