Will Mbappé need protection?
The French forward missed training due to a procedure on a cut above his eyebrow suffered against Girona.
Reports suggest he will need to wear protective gear, though not a full mask.
Is he a doubt for the Champions League?
Despite the severity of the blow — caused by an elbow from Vitor Reis — and the stitched wound shared on social media, Mbappé is not expected to miss the game against Bayern Munich.
In fact, reports indicate he is likely to start.
A crucial match for Real Madrid
The clash against Bayern could define not only their Champions League run but also Álvaro Arbeloa’s future, with Madrid under pressure after falling nine points behind Barcelona in LaLiga.
