The presence of Kylian Mbappé in the match against Manchester City, counting for the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, remains uncertain after the player missed training this Sunday. The French forward now has only two sessions, on Monday and Tuesday, to try to recover in time for the clash on Wednesday at the Bernabéu. Despite the positive progress of his knee sprain in recent days, the limited time available works against the player's desire to be fit for the match. His physical condition will be assessed in Valdebebas, with neither confirmation nor dismissal of his participation. This Sunday, Mbappé was spotted with his new girlfriend returning to Madrid after spending a few days recovering in Paris. Regarding the rest of the team, Real Madrid's training in Valdebebas took place without major news. Bellingham participated in part of the session on the pitch, but did so in isolation. Carreras, who suffered a knock in the game against Getafe, also trained separately, and it is expected that he will join the group on Monday and be included in the squad without issues. However, his starting position is uncertain, given Mendy's excellent performance in Vigo. Rudiger was another player who trained away from the group, although he is expected to train normally tomorrow. Meanwhile, Alaba, with a problem in his left calf, Ceballos, Militão, and Rodrygo continue their respective recovery processes. It is worth noting that the Brazilian winger will undergo surgery soon due to a serious knee injury.
