Real Madrid took the lead in the Copa del Rey semifinals by defeating Real Sociedad away from home. The author of the winning goal was Endrick, who started in place of Kylian Mbappé, who had to miss the match due to a dental issue... but he has now rejoined training with the rest of his teammates.

Mbappé's dental issue

The alarm went off in Valdebebas on the morning of last Tuesday, when Kylian Mbappé did not go out to the training field with the rest of his teammates. Shortly afterward, it was revealed that he had undergone surgery on Monday to have a tooth removed. A minor issue that would not prevent him from playing against Real Sociedad.

This was confirmed by Carlo Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference. In fact, he confirmed that Mbappé was set to travel for the match. However, when Real Madrid released the list of players called up for the match earlier yesterday, Kylian Mbappé's name was missing.

Mbappé will be available to play against Betis

Fortunately, Real Madrid did not miss Mbappé too much and managed to secure a solid result in San Sebastián, looking ahead to the return leg scheduled for April. Hours later, Kylian was able to rejoin training normally and practiced with the rest of the teammates who did not participate against Real Sociedad.

Initially, there should be no problem for Mbappé to be available this weekend for Real Madrid's visit to Benito Villamarín to face Betis. A team, by the way, against which he scored his first two goals as a Real Madrid player.
