Injury Concerns for Madrid Ahead of Cup Clash

Mbappé’s Continued Struggles

Real Madrid’s leading scorer, Kylian Mbappé, is predicted to miss the upcoming match at the Santiago Bernabéu against Pep Guardiola’s team due to a persistent knee issue that has affected him since last December.

Injury Update on Carreras

Real Madrid’s statement on Monday revealed that Carreras “has sustained a muscle injury in his right calf,” but did not provide an estimated recovery time for the player.

Multiple Absences for Los Blancos

The team is facing several absences leading into the important matchup with Manchester City. Key players Jude Bellingham, Eder Militao, Rodrygo Goes, Dani Ceballos, and David Alaba are all currently healing from their respective injuries.

Major Concerns

The primary concern for Madrid is the potential absence of Mbappé. Although there is no definitive timeline for his return, reports from Spanish media suggest the France captain is optimistic about being available for the second leg of the matchup next week.

Mbappé has not participated in Madrid’s last three games and recently traveled to Paris for further evaluation and treatment of his knee.
