UCL: Mbappé doubtful for Manchester City clash after missing training
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé did not take part in training with the squad, raising doubts over his availability for the crucial Champions League clash against Manchester City on Wednesday.
According to Fabrizio Romano’s X post on Tuesday, Romano said, “Kylian Mbappé didn’t train with the Real Madrid squad, and he’s a doubt to face Manchester City.”
The French striker’s absence will spark concern among fans and analysts, given his key role in Madrid’s attack.
Although the club has not yet provided details on whether the issue is injury-related or precautionary.
Mbappe has been in fine form in front for Real Madrid, scoring 16 league goals and nine goals in the current 2025–26 UEFA Champions League campaign.
The Los Blancos were stunned at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday as Celta Vigo secured a 2–0 victory, handing Real Madrid their first home defeat of the season and their first loss to Celta in Madrid in 19 years.
