Real Madrid provides an update on Kylian Mbappé's injury, with Xabi Alonso stating he is in contention for the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona.

Kylian Mbappe suffered a knee sprain, and the Real Madrid star faces a three-week absence ahead of their Real Betis clash.

After getting off to a flying start in 2026 with two consecutive victories, Real Madrid are set to face Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. However, Kylian Mbappe's participation remains uncertain as he joined the team on their trip despite his recent knee injury.

Angry Real Madrid fans jeered their own team before they went on to beat Levante 2-0 in La Liga to record coach Alvaro Arbeloa's first win at the helm.

With top goalscorer Mbappe sidelined with a knee sprain, Alonso turned to 21-year-old forward Garcia to replace him, as he did during the Club World Cup last summer.

Real Madrid fans were full of praise for Gonzalo Garcia after his hat-trick against Real Betis in La Liga. The young striker started instead of the injured Kylian Mbappe and made the most of his chance.
