Real Madrid Hit by Blow as Mbappé Ruled Out of El Clásico
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has been omitted from Sunday’s squad against Barcelona. Manager Álvaro Arbeloa left him out after the hamstring injury he suffered on April 24 failed to fully heal. Despite returning to group training this week, Mbappé did not complete his final session and was withdrawn by the medical team. The decision follows concerns over his fitness and reports of an unsanctioned recovery trip to Sardinia. His absence is a huge setback for Los Blancos. A defeat at Camp Nou would hand Barcelona the 2025/26 LaLiga title and heap pressure on the French star amid growing fan criticism.
