Mbappé cleared for Bayern clash after injury scare
15 Apr
Summary
- Kylian Mbappé will play against Bayern Munich despite a facial injury.
- The injury required three stitches but was not deemed serious.
- Mbappé will not need to wear a protective mask for the match.

Kylian Mbappé is available to play for Real Madrid against Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarterfinal second leg. Mbappé suffered a facial injury over the weekend, requiring three stitches after an accidental elbow. This incident led to a missed training session, raising concerns about his availability for the critical match.
Despite the initial worry, the forward participated in training on Monday, with his absence from a previous session deemed precautionary. Importantly, he will not require a protective mask for the game in Germany, a significant relief after his experience at Euro 2024.
Adding to Madrid's positive outlook, defender Ferland Mendy also trained with the team. Mendy has had his fitness carefully managed this season. However, Aurélien Tchouaméni will be absent due to suspension, and Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo continue to recover from injuries.
