Kylian Mbappe’s knee injury has caused Real Madrid to endure a severe blow ahead of the Spanish Super Cup.
Due to the club’s “zero risk” policy, the French superstar will not travel to Saudi Arabia, but Xabi Alonso will benefit greatly from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s comeback to the team.
Madrid’s quest for the first trophy of the year 2026 has encountered a major roadblock before the club has even boarded the plane to Saudi Arabia.

Although Los Blancos must deal with the Frenchman’s absence, there was one bright spot in the team announcement.
English full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been given the all-clear to resume play after recovering from a thigh ailment that had kept him out of action in recent weeks.
According to reports from Spain, leaving Mbappe in Madrid was the only sensible decision and was not made hastily.
According to AS, the attacker won’t play in Wednesday’s semi-final match against Atletico Madrid due to a sprained left knee.
Although there was a slim chance that he could play in Sunday’s final, medical personnel have entirely ruled it out.
The team have chosen a cautious course of treatment, putting the player’s future well-being ahead of a momentary risk.
The hierarchy has made it clear that Mbappe must not return until he is fully recovered, as opposed to the weakened version that has been compelled to play through the pain barrier in recent weeks.
