Ancelotti has doubts about Real Madrid superstar’s physical condition ahead of Copa del Rey final | OneFootball

There is much anxiety at Real Madrid as they approach the Copa Del Rey final against Barcelona tomorrow.

Although Los Blancos, in their squad, have been able to include both Ferland Mendy and Kylian Mbappe, they are far from their about the fitness levels of these players.

Ancelotti worried about Mbappe’s fitness

According to Radio MARCA, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is particularly worried about Kylian Mbappe’s fitness heading into the Copa del Rey final.

The French international had picked up a fresh injury during the second leg Champions League tie against Arsenal.

In the following game against Athletic Club, he couldn’t make an appearance both due to injury and a suspension.

But the worrying trend was that the Frenchman didn’t make it in time for the Getafe clash either. It was said at the time that this was purely a precautionary measure.

But the fact remains: this will be Mbappe’s first game since picking up an injury against Arsenal and therefore, Ancelotti has doubts as to whether or not the Frenchman can give his 100%.

Should Mbappe fail to recover his fitness, Ancelotti is expected to replace him with Dani Ceballos in the Real Madrid lineup.

Ceballos’ inclusion could see Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo possibly spearheading the Real Madrid frontline, with the midfielder acting as the additional source of creativity for Los Blancos.

Meanwhile, Lucas Vazquez is aiming to start in the right-back position, hoping to get the nod ahead of Federico Valverde, whose services could be required in midfield given his match-winning abilities.
