After having a tooth extracted earlier this week, Kylian Mbappé will not be included in Real Madrid’s roster for their Copa del Rey quarterfinal first leg against Real Sociedad on Wednesday. Coach Carlo Ancelotti had assured that the top forward, who has 14 goals in 2025 and is in excellent form, would be available for the cup match during his pregame press conference the day before. On Wednesday, though, Mbappé was not included in Madrid’s matchday squad announcement, along with midfielder Federico Valverde and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The statement “Mbappé will travel tomorrow,” was made by Ancelotti on Tuesday. “He had a problem with his tooth, he couldn’t train today, but he’ll travel tomorrow, and everyone who travels has the chance to play.”
Mbappé has largely remained injury-free in his time at Madrid so far, after suffering a broken nose at last summer’s Euro 2024.
