Real Madrid Omit Kylian Mbappé From Supercopa Squad Over Knee Sprain

Madrid are prioritizing a cautious recovery from his left‑knee sprain as medical estimates point to roughly three weeks out.

Overview

  • Real Madrid’s official list for the Jeddah tournament excludes Mbappé, who will stay in Madrid and is out of Thursday’s semifinal against Atlético.
  • Gonzalo García is expected to lead the line after his hat-trick against Betis, filling the centre-forward role in Mbappé’s absence.
  • The club indicates a late call remains possible only if his condition improves and the team reaches Sunday’s final.
  • The traveling party includes Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen as they continue recovery work, while Éder Militão also remains in Madrid.
  • Atlético named Pablo Barrios in their expedition despite a soleus edema that makes him a major doubt for the derby.
