Real Madrid have no clear update on superstar’s availability ahead of El Clasico There is growing uncertainty around Real Madrid and their biggest attacking star ahead of a decisive El Clasico. With the title race hanging in the balance, all eyes are now on Kylian Mbappe and whether he will be fit in time to face Barcelona on May 10. According to a report from AS , there is increasing doubt about Mbappe’s availability, with recent fitness concerns continuing to cast a shadow over his involvement.

The French forward has been dealing with a knee issue, one that he has managed for a large part of the season. However, the latest assessments have not been encouraging, and the feeling within the club is that making it back on time will be difficult. A difficult period In recent days, Mbappe has also been in the spotlight for reasons beyond football.

Images of his short getaway to Cagliari with his partner have circulated widely, raising eyebrows considering the timing of this trip. Mbappe’s participation is still uncertain.

From Madrid’s perspective, the decision to allow him time off was based on the physical effort he has put in throughout the campaign. The idea was to help him recover properly rather than rush him back. However, the public nature of the break has added unwanted attention, particularly when focus and unity are expected to be at their highest.
