Real Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa has provided an update on the fitness of French forward Kylian Mbappé following the team’s 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in La Liga’s 35th round.
Barcelona 2–0 Real Madrid
1–0: Rashford (9′)
2–0: F. Torres (18′)
— Will Mbappé be able to play before the end of the season?
— There is no definitive answer. There are two weeks left in the season, and everything will depend on whether he experiences any discomfort. Only then will it become clear if he can step onto the pitch.
— Would you like to see Mbappé travel for the match?
— I want him to be fully fit and able to start from the first minute. That is my wish, — Arbeloa said, as quoted on Real Madrid’s official website.
As previously reported, Mbappé missed the match against Barcelona due to discomfort in his hamstring.
