Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Real Madrid, has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will join the squad for the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Sociedad, despite missing training due to a tooth extraction. His availability for the match remains positive, with Ancelotti indicating that anyone who travels could potentially play. However, it has been suggested that Mbappe may start on the bench to prioritize upcoming La Liga and Champions League matches. Additionally, other players like Federico Valverde and Thibaut Courtois may also be rested for the match.
"Mbappe is traveling," Ancelotti told the media. "He had a problem with a tooth and couldn't train. He's traveling tomorrow and can play."
MARCA state Mbappe could begin the Sociedad game on the bench, with Ancelotti prioritising the upcoming La Liga clash with Real Betis.
Despite Mbappe's tooth issue, Ancelotti confirmed, "Everyone who travels has a chance of playing the game," indicating potential flexibility in squad choices.
Federico Valverde is likely to be left out of Wednesday's match for similar reasons, showcasing Ancelotti's strategic approach to player management.
