Finally, good news for Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappé returned to training on Friday at Valdebebas, joining the rest of the squad after two days of absence. The French forward, who missed training sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, now seems available for the match on Saturday against Real Sociedad. It is worth noting that Mbappé has been dealing with a problem in his left knee, a discomfort that has affected him since the beginning of the year. The player, who has scored 38 goals in 31 games this season, is following a specific recovery plan with the aim of being in top condition for the important double clash in the UEFA Champions League against Benfica, scheduled for February 17 and 25. Raúl Asencio also returned to work. The central defender was absent from Thursday's training due to a flu process. However, Arbeloa may choose to give him rest, as the player has been playing with a tibial fracture.
