Forward Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid will not participate in Sunday’s El Clásico match, having been omitted from the squad roster. Although the French forward seemed to have recuperated from his injury sustained during the clash with Betis, the coaching staff opted against risking him in what is considered a low-stakes encounter.
In his absence, reserve forward Gonzalo García might take a starting position, or alternatively, manager Arbeloa might choose to feature Vinicius and Brahim at the forefront of the offense, mirroring the tactical setup employed during their Champions League fixtures against Manchester City.
