Arbeloa Confident Mbappé Will Play Against Man City
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach of Real Madrid, stated during a press conference that he is confident Kylian Mbappé will be available for the upcoming Champions League second leg against Manchester City. This match is scheduled for next Tuesday, following Real Madrid's 3-0 victory over City in the first leg at the Bernabéu.
Mbappé has been recovering from a severe left knee sprain that has kept him out of action since late December. He missed the match against Benfica in the knockout phase on February 25.
Despite the injury, Arbeloa remains optimistic about Mbappé's return, noting that he is improving daily. The French forward has scored 38 goals in 33 appearances for the club this season and is expected to be back in time for the international break, where France will face Brazil and Colombia in pre-World Cup friendlies.
