The absence of Kylian Mbappé in the Spanish Cup match against Leganes on Wednesday evening, concerned among Real Madrid supporters. The French striker, a victim suddenly during the defeat against the Espanyol, had not found the way to the net that day, thus extending an unusual period of scarcity for him.
Mbappé, between injury and diet drop before the derby
Mbappé has not scored since its resounding triple against Valladolid on January 25. A period of more than two weeks aimlessly, after having chained five consecutive games with at least one achievement. This slight drop in diet coincides with physical pain (calf concern) which required its absence in the cut, and which leaves doubt about its participation in the derby against Atlético Madrid.
Concern around Mbappé before the derby.
Despite this recent period without scoring, Mbappé figures remain impressive. Since the start of the season, he has scored 22 goals in 34 games in all competitions combined and issued 4 assists. At a press conference this Friday, Carlo Ancelotti wanted to be reassuring about the state of form of his attacker: “Kylian arrived with a lot of humility, he adapted very well to the team. The figures speak for themselves, we cannot ask him anything more. We are very happy. »»
Real in the face of an emergency situation
Beyond the Mbappé case, Real Madrid must face a real crisis in defense. “We are in an emergency. We lost Carvajal and Militão, two pillars of our defense. We had to reposition players and use young people. It is not a normal situation, “ explained the coach Merengue.
Fortunately for the Madrid club, some good news balances the situation. Eduardo Camavonga and Lucas Vazquez will be back for the derby, offering additional options in a workforce decimated by injuries.
The big question now remains whether Mbappé will be restored enough to play a key role in this crucial derby for the title race. Answer this Saturday evening on the field.
