COPE Reveals: This Is Real Madrid’s ‘Mbappé Plan’ for the Week After His Injury
Real Madrid has a clear plan for how to handle Kylian Mbappé this week, following his recent injury.
Kylian Mbappé was injured during the second half of the Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal. He suffered a minor ankle sprain, which is currently keeping him out. However, he wouldn’t have been able to play in the league match anyway, due to a red card he received in a previous game against Alavés.
COPE reports he might play against Getafe
According to Cadena COPE, Mbappé is expected to play a few minutes on Wednesday against Getafe, and he is 100% confirmed to be available for the Copa del Rey final.
Mbappé could play a few minutes midweek and will definitely be ready for Saturday’s final, per COPE.
Yesterday, the French striker watched from his private box as his teammates earned a dramatic win over Athletic Club. The game was decided by a stunning volley goal from Fede Valverde in the 93rd minute, after Real Madrid had relentlessly pushed for the win throughout the second half.
A Hard-Fought Win Keeps Real Madrid in the Title Race
This deserved victory helps Los Blancos stay in the title race, especially after what the article calls a “robbery” involving Celta Vigo in Montjuïc, where a controversial win helped Barcelona maintain their four-point lead over Ancelotti’s team. Madrid still has to face Barça in a crucial match at the Camp Nou.
Ironically, Barça will finish the league in Bilbao, a tough place for visiting teams. If Madrid beats them in Barcelona, the title could come down to that final match.
Mbappé’s Return Is Key for the Final Stretch
Mbappé is expected to return to top form for both the Copa del Rey final and the six remaining league matches. The club is hoping he reaches the same level he showed in the Spanish Super Cup final, where he was the only standout Madrid player.
After facing criticism for his performances—especially for being invisible during the Arsenal tie—Mbappé is eager to bounce back and prove why he signed for Real Madrid.
Even though he has scored 33 goals this season, some still question him for being “missing” against Arsenal. But many also believe the team’s play didn’t support him.
