Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe, recovering from a late-December knee sprain, might play in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona on Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Initially expected to be out for three weeks, Mbappe joined the squad after missing the semifinal victory over Atletico Madrid. Coach Xabi Alonso said the decision to play Mbappe would be made carefully, weighing the risks and consulting with staff, players, and doctors. Alonso emphasized they would not be reckless, but would consider Mbappe's progress in training to determine if he can start or play limited minutes. Winning the Super Cup would be Alonso's first title as Real Madrid coach.
