After securing a victory against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid resumed training today with a boost—Kylian Mbappé was back on the pitch. The French superstar, who was absent from the last training session and the Copa del Rey match due to dental surgery, has now rejoined the group in preparation for the upcoming fixture against Real Betis.
Mbappé’s return is a welcome sight for Carlo Ancelotti, who will be counting on him for the trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarín on Saturday. The forward participated in an intense session alongside other players who were rested for the Copa del Rey clash. Among them were Thibaut Courtois and Federico Valverde, both of whom are expected to feature prominently in the starting lineup against Betis.
While Ancelotti can count on the return of key players, he will still have to navigate a number of absences. Dani Ceballos is the latest name to be sidelined, with the midfielder set to miss two months of action, dashing hopes of a return to his former club this weekend. Additionally, Jude Bellingham will be unavailable due to suspension, leaving a significant gap in midfield.
