Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid’s leading scorer and star forward, is expected to play against Real Sociedad.
It appears that the Frenchman will be available on Saturday night after missing the previous two training days due to a recurrence of his knee problem, which has been preventing him from playing for the past two months.
Along with his teammates, Mbappe resumed training on Friday morning as Los Blancos get ready to take on the team that is statistically the best in La Liga in 2026. Mbappe would be eligible to play against the Txuri-Urdin, Arbeloa confirmed as reported by Football Espana.
Mbappe Is Fit To Face Sociedad
“Yes, he’s fine. He’s trained with the group and is available for tomorrow’s match.”
Over the previous few weeks, Arbeloa has been quick to express his expectations for his team’s commitment and mindset, but he hasn’t given much specificity about his tactical preferences since taking over as senior manager.
“I’m not thinking about anything other than tomorrow’s game. There’s always room for improvement and development.

“That’s what I’m focused on. I’m happy with how we’ve trained this week, and hopefully tomorrow’s game will be better than the last one, but not as bad as the one after.”
Despite being back to full fitness, Dean Huijsen is one of the players who has struggled to recapture his form under Arbeloa.
The 20-year-old has not been as good since a string of injuries, despite having a great start to life at the Bernabeu.
Huijsen could start for Real Madrid against Real Sociedad, but he will soon have to contend with further competition for the position when Antonio Rudiger returns from injury.
Raul Asencio seems to have reestablished himself in the starting lineup for the time being following a successful run of play in 2026.
