"It appears Los Blancos will be unable to field their star player, Kylian Mbappe, in the starting eleven, as he is not fit enough to do so. This is according to a recent report from French news outlet RMC Sport, which confirms Mbappe will start on the bench against Barcelona. Mbappe fit to play only 30 minutes This comes on the back of Real Madrid placing hopes on Mbappe to recover in time for the final,"
"But as confirmed by RMC Sport, the Frenchman is only fit to play 30 minutes in the final, effectively leaving it upon Xabi Alonso on how to utilise the player. It must be noted that even if Mbappe does appear for 30 minutes at least, he is far from fully fit right now and won't be at his level best. This serves as a major boost for Barcelona, who had struggled to contain the former PSG superstar earlier this season."
Kylian Mbappé is not fit enough to start the Spanish Super Cup final and is expected to begin on the bench. He is only considered fit to play about 30 minutes, leaving tactical decisions to coach Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid had hoped for a full recovery after using Gonzalo García at number nine in the semifinal. Mbappé trained with the team before the final but remains far from full fitness and would not perform at his best if used. Alonso prefers not to risk him and will likely start Gonzalo García alongside Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior. Barcelona receive a significant boost given previous difficulties containing Mbappé.
