Kylian Mbappé remains uncertain for the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. He has been dealing with an ankle injury since Sunday’s LaLiga match against Rayo Vallecano.

On Monday, Mbappé rested during Real Madrid’s recovery session. On Tuesday, he trained separately, first in the gym and then on the field, without joining the squad. According to club sources, the issue stems from his ankle contusion.
