Real Madrid [/b]forward [b]Kylian Mbappe[/b] has been officially ruled out of the club’s upcoming La Liga fixture against Getafe on Wednesday due to injury. The French superstar, who has been in sensational form for the Spanish giants this season, is also a major doubt for the highly anticipated Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this weekend. The news comes as a blow to manager Carlo Ancelotti and the team as they aim to continue their push for silverware in the domestic competitions.

Mbappe’s injury occurred during Real Madrid’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. In the 75th minute of the match, Mbappe was involved in a collision with Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, which resulted in him limping off the field in clear discomfort. The injury has since kept him out of action, leading to his absence for the upcoming Getafe clash. Despite the setback, both Mbappe and fellow teammate Ferland Mendy are reportedly working tirelessly to recover in time for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this Saturday, as confirmed by Ancelotti in a pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

“They are not ready just yet, but they will train over the next few days,” Ancelotti explained to the media. “I believe both should be fit by Saturday.” This statement has raised hopes among Real Madrid supporters, though uncertainty remains over the two key players’ availability for such an important match. As the club’s star forward, Mbappe’s presence in the Copa del Rey final would be crucial as the team prepares to face their fierce rivals in one of the most prestigious fixtures of the season.

Mbappe, who had been suspended for Real Madrid’s narrow 1-0 victory over Athletic Club on Sunday, was unfortunately met with a hostile reception from some fans at the Santiago Bernabeu during that match. The jeers followed the ongoing speculation surrounding his future at the club and his absence from the squad. However, Ancelotti took the opportunity to defend the 25-year-old, emphasizing the forward’s dedication to recovering from his injury and contributing to the team’s success.

“He is upset because he wants to help the team. He is doing everything he can to recover and be there on Saturday,” Ancelotti added, reiterating that Mbappe’s commitment to Real Madrid’s cause has never been in question. The manager’s defense of the player comes at a time when the club’s fans are eager for clarity over Mbappe’s future and his availability for the crucial Copa del Rey final.

Real Madrid is set to face arch-rivals Barcelona in a high-stakes Copa del Rey final on Saturday, and the availability of Kylian Mbappe remains a key concern for the team. With the competition intensifying and both sides vying for a prestigious trophy, the presence of Mbappe, one of the world’s top forwards, would undoubtedly provide a boost to the team’s chances. As the weekend approaches, all eyes will be on the French forward and whether he will make a timely recovery to feature in one of the season’s most anticipated matches.
