Good news for Real Madrid fans: Kylian Mbappé will indeed be part of the squad for the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona, scheduled for April 26 at La Cartuja Stadium.

After suffering a knock to his right ankle towards the end of the match against Arsenal, the Franco-Cameroonian superstar underwent tests at Valdebebas this Friday, which revealed no serious injury.

Substituted in the 75th minute during the UEFA Champions League quarter-final return leg (a 1-2 defeat and elimination for Madrid), there were doubts about his availability.

Mbappé is in full form!

Fears of a sprain briefly circulated, but the medical staff quickly dispelled any concerns: Mbappé is in full form.

Against Getafe, in La Liga, he might be rested to maintain his freshness for the clash against the Blaugrana.

With already 33 goals scored this season, Mbappé remains a formidable weapon. He has also found the back of the net in each of his last three finals with Real.

A performance he hopes to repeat in a high-stakes Clasico, crucial for reviving Madrid's momentum after the European disappointment.
