Mbappe sidelined for Clasico after late fitness test failure in setback for Real Madrid
Topics:
Kylian Mbappe has yet to make a full recovery from his left leg muscle problem and Real Madrid are opting against any chances with their forward given their slim hopes in the title race.
The timing of his unavailability follows recent debate regarding his visits to Italy and France during off days while nursing the injury.
This is a major hit for Madrid since Mbappe nets a goal against Barca roughly every 67 minutes.
That said he cut short his Saturday session with the squad at Valdebebas and did not pass the Sunday fitness check.
