Kylian Mbappé is reluctant to take unnecessary risks with his knee injury ahead of the Spanish Supercopa final against Barcelona on Sunday. But Real Madrid is determined to have their star available, even considering a painkilling injection to ease his participation.

According to L’Équipe, the French forward, sidelined since late December with a sprain, will undergo a crucial fitness test during Saturday's training session in Jeddah. The club remains optimistic about his chances of playing in the final despite the tight recovery window.
