"His development is progressing as it should. We made a plan. It depends on his progress, but I think he's doing very well. He won't be available [for Elche], but I expect he'll travel to Manchester. I want him to be able to travel to Manchester. Let's see tomorrow and on Sunday, when we'll make a final decision."
"Mbappe is Madrid's top scorer in all competitions with 38 goals, some 25 clear of second-place Vinicius Junior (13), and Arbeloa is confident they will have him back in the squad sooner rather than later."
"We'll field the best possible XI to win. I'm not thinking about anything else. The players have to end each match completely exhaust."
Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-0 in their Champions League last-16 first leg, with Federico Valverde scoring a hat-trick. Kylian Mbappe, Madrid's top scorer with 38 goals across all competitions, is recovering from a left knee sprain sustained in December. While unavailable for the upcoming Elche LaLiga match, Mbappe is expected to travel to Manchester for the Champions League second leg. His recovery is progressing as planned, and he may also be available for Madrid's match against Atletico Madrid on March 22. Madrid aims to close the gap to Barcelona to one point in the league standings.
