Overview
- Real Madrid face FC Barcelona in the Supercopa de España final on Sunday, January 11.
- Kylian Mbappé, sidelined since early December with a left‑knee sprain, has rejoined the team in Saudi Arabia.
- A decisive assessment during Saturday’s final training session will determine whether he is selected to play.
- Head coach Xabi Alonso said Mbappé "has the same possibilities of playing as all those who are called up."
- Initial guidance suggested a three‑week layoff, but reporting indicates a quicker recovery is possible and any decision will be taken cautiously.
