Kylian Mbappé did not begin Real Madrid’s pre-derby training session with the team, prompting the club to announce that he was inside the facilities doing individualized work. While no official reason was given for the separate training, Marca has reported that it was due to muscular discomfort.

Although his participation in the derby was not immediately considered at risk, Mbappé remained in the gym as a precaution, addressing what insiders described as “minor” physical issues. He joined his teammates on the pitch after about 30 minutes. Carlo Ancelotti is planning on having him available but is taking no chances, with preventative work and close monitoring set to continue over the next 24 hours to ensure Mbappé is in peak condition for the derby. However, as time passes, confidence has slightly decreased, and a final decision will depend on how he responds in the coming hours.
