Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa has confirmed that Kylian Mbappé will be available for Tuesday’s high-stakes match against Benfica.
Explaining the Frenchman’s absence from the domestic lineup, Arbeloa noted that the decision was purely a safeguard.
“He felt some slight knee discomfort, so we opted to rest him tonight to avoid any risks,” Arbeloa stated. “The goal was to ensure he is at 100% fitness for the Benfica fixture.”
