Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé has been left out of the official squad for the upcoming La Liga Matchday 34 fixture against Espanyol. The decision comes as the star forward continues his recovery from an injury sustained during last week’s match against Betis.
The medical team has been managing his condition, but the coaching staff opted against risking his health for the away game. As Mbappé focuses on his rehabilitation, there has been significant media attention regarding his reported travels to Paris and Italy, which has elicited mixed reactions from the Madrid fanbase.
While his teammates gear up for the match, Mbappé is believed to be spending time with his girlfriend during his recovery. The full Real Madrid squad for the match against Espanyol has been announced.
The match is set to kick off today, May 3, at 21:00 Central European Time. A defeat for Real Madrid could lead to Barcelona being crowned champions by the end of the evening.
