Mbappe to miss Real Madrid Copa clash against Real Sociedad

MADRID, Spain (AFP) — Real Madrid left Kylian Mbappe out of their squad to face Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg on Wednesday owing to a dental problem.

The French superstar did not train with his team-mates on Tuesday ahead of the game but coach Carlo Ancelotti said the striker would travel to San Sebastian.

Mbappe is Madrid’s leading goal scorer with 28 goals in 39 matches across all competitions this season.

Midfielder Fede Valverde and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois were also left out of the travelling group to recover from minor fitness issues.

England international Jude Bellingham returned to the squad after missing Sunday’s La Liga win against Girona through suspension.

On Tuesday Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played out a thrilling 4-4 draw in the first leg of the other semi-final.
