Question marks had surrounded Kylian Mbappé's status ahead of the Copa del Rey final, but Real Madrid have provided a major update on the Frenchman's health.
Real Madrid suffered two major losses in their 2–1 defeat to Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. Not only were Los Blancos eliminated from the Champions League 5–1 on aggregate, but their top goalscorer Mbappé also sustained an ankle injury.
The Frenchman was forced to miss Real Madrid's two La Liga clashes with Athletic Bilbao and Getafe and was a doubt heading into the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. After two lopsided defeats to Hansi Flick's men this season, Los Blancos could not afford to lose their sharp shooter for the all-important El Clásico final.
The uncertainty of Mbappé's fitness is finally over, though, and Carlo Ancelotti will breathe a huge sigh of relief.
