Real Madrid have reportedly received a huge boost ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final, according to manager Xabi Alonso as Kylian Mbappe is now set to travel to Saudi Arabia.
The French superstar was unable to take part in the semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid due to a knee injury. However, he has recovered well and is now ready to play Barcelona in a thrilling El Clasico match.
Due to a knee injury that prevented him from playing in the semi-final match against Atletico Madrid, the French attacker has recovered quickly and will go to Jeddah on Friday.
