Xabi Alonso has provided an update on Kylian Mbappe’s knee issue as Real Madrid prepare for the Spanish Super Cup.
The France forward has been dealing with discomfort in his knee, raising questions over his availability for the upcoming Super Cup fixture. Speaking ahead of the match, Alonso addressed the situation and made it clear the club are monitoring Mbappe closely.
“He’s fine,” Alonso said, offering reassurance over the striker’s condition. The Real Madrid coach added that the player will continue to be assessed as the team heads into the competition.
Real Madrid are set to contest the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, with Mbappe one of the key names in Alonso’s squad. Any fitness concern around him is likely to be a major talking point, given his importance in attack.
Alonso’s comments come as Madrid balance the demands of a packed schedule and the need to manage injuries carefully, with the club determined to approach the Super Cup at full strength.
