Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is on course to play in El Clasico this Sunday night, as Los Blancos try to spoil Barcelona’s title party. The game kicks off at 21:00 CEST on Sunday night, and anything but a Real Madrid win will grant the Blaugrana the Liga title.
Mbappe has been a major doubt for the game, having been absent from training since he came off against Real Betis two-and-a-half weeks ago, complaining of a hamstring problem. Mbappe returned to Valdebebas on Tuesday, but put off tests scheduled for Wednesday until Thursday.
As explained by Diario AS, Mbappe featured in part of the group training session on Thursday, after undergoing tests, and did the final part of the session alone with the physiotherapists. Mbappe has avoided a muscle tear, and only has a strain, which should allow him to feature against Barcelona this weekend. That said, it seems more probable he will be on the bench rather than in the starting XI.
