Relief for Real Madrid! Kylian Mbappe expected to be included for Copa del Rey final against Barcelona after stepping up recovery from ankle injury

Copa del Rey

Barcelona

Real Madrid

<p>Mbappe sustained an ankle injury during Real Madrid's second-leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal last week. The Frenchman missed Los Blancos' 1-0 win over Getafe on Wednesday, and as such, there had been questions regarding his availability for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this weekend at the Estadio de La Cartuja. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2025/04/24/mbappe-mendy-aceleran-pensando-copa.html#google_vignette" target="_blank">Spanish publication Marca</a> has now revealed that Real Madrid are expecting Mbappe to be fit for their Copa del Rey final, which could stand as their only option to not go trophyless this season. The report revealed that the Frenchman has already returned to training with Los Blancos, and the coaching staff expect that Mbappe will be able to be included in the squad for the Clasico. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mbappe has not exactly had the best time against Barcelona so far this season in both of the Clasicos, as both clashes saw the Catalan side manage to completely neutralize the France international's threat through the middle of the attack and win 4-0 in La Liga and 5-2 in the Supercopa de Espana.     </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Real Madrid will be keen on avoiding the same fate yet again on Saturday, April 26, as they take on Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final. If reports are to be believed, the clash could very well be Carlo Ancelotti's last match in charge of Los Blancos. </p>

WHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE?
