As the Spanish Super Cup approaches, Real Madrid faces a race against time to rehabilitate important players from injury.
Dean Huijsen, who missed the match against Real Betis due to a thigh injury, has trained regularly with the squad and is anticipated to be available.
Kylian Mbappe’s situation, meanwhile, remains uncertain, as it has been since his initial injury.
Contrasting reports have formed a murky picture of the Frenchman’s homecoming, with some outlets suggesting he will feature in the Supercup while others insisting he will not make it back in time.
A realistic update
According to COPE, Mbappe is now healing and feeling better than he did when he was first diagnosed. He worked out separately yesterday and feels well.
However, claiming that he is fit enough to participate in the Spanish Super Cup would be premature and overly optimistic.

According to Miguel Angel Diaz (h/t The Madrid Zone), Mbappe is out against Atletico Madrid for practical reasons and will not be available for the derby.
Even if Real Madrid makes it to the final, he will have a difficult time returning.
The athlete, on the other hand, intends to accompany the team to Saudi Arabia just in case, to be with his teammates for what may be their season’s first title.
If he feels completely fit at any time, he will express his feelings and participate in the event. However, it is obvious that he will not be compelled to play through any discomfort and will not play unless he is fully fit.
With Mbappe ruled out against Atletico Madrid, it is practically a no-brainer for Xabi Alonso to stick with Gonzalo Garcia following his statement performance at the weekend.
