According to reports, Mbappé traveled with the Real Madrid squad to Seville, marking the biggest news from the star-studded lineup. His ankle, injured during the return leg against Arsenal, is recovering—progressing well but not fully healed. During the penultimate training session (Thursday), his ankle still caused mild discomfort. As a result, it was decided not to exert additional pressure on him. This remains the primary concern.

He was tested in the final training session in Madrid before the trip, but yesterday’s refereeing controversies prevented further testing at La Cartuja Stadium. His condition was not entirely promising—better than before, but not ideal. Within the team, there is no full confidence about his inclusion in the starting lineup. A logical doubt persists just 24 hours before kickoff. He will undergo a final test today, after which the ultimate decision will be made. Uncertainty lingers until the final whistle.

If Mbappé can play, it will be another significant challenge for him. A major test for the French star, who has faced criticism for his underwhelming performances against Atlético Madrid and Arsenal in the Champions League, as well as the two previous matches against Barcelona.
