Mbappe Remains Sidelined for Real Madrid Due to Injury

Real Madrid has announced the exclusion of French forward Kylian Mbappé from the squad set to face Espanyol on Sunday in a La Liga match for the 34th round. This absence is due to a recent hamstring injury suffered by the player, which necessitates compulsory changes to the technical staff's starting lineup for this encounter.

The announced squad also revealed other significant absences for the Royal Club, as the team will be without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Éder Militão, in addition to Rodrygo and Dani Carvajal. Conversely, the squad included prominent names to strengthen the team's lines, led by Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde.

This match holds significant importance in the domestic competition, as any negative result for Real Madrid could officially hand Barcelona the La Liga title on Sunday evening. The White Club aims to overcome its numerical disadvantage and maintain its balance, despite the list of significant absences, which includes key players in various positions.
