Real Madrid is receiving a significant boost as Kylian Mbappe has returned to training at their Valdebebas facility ahead of the crucial Champions League match against Manchester City.
Despite his lengthy absence while recovering from a knee injury in Paris, his presence on the training grounds is a positive sign for manager Alvaro Arbeloa. However, he did not participate in a full training session and instead engaged in running exercises under fitness coach Sebastien Devillaz.
Returning and Injured Players
While the excitement surrounds Mbappe’s return, the team faces a setback with full-back Alvaro Carreras, who has been diagnosed with a calf muscle injury, a development confirmed by the club. His status leaves the team likely without him for the first leg against City.
In better news, defenders Antonio Rudiger and Eduardo Camavinga have returned to full training, adding depth to the squad.
Preparation for Manchester City
As Real Madrid gears up for the match, only 17 first-team players are available. The medical team is continuously evaluating Mbappe’s condition while being cautious not to jeopardize his health ahead of crucial fixtures, including a likely long wait for the upcoming World Cup.
The pressure is mounting for coach Alvaro Arbeloa as he prepares his team for this important encounter.
