Ancelotti Confident Real Madrid Can Handle Mbappe’s Absence In Madrid Derby.
Carlo Ancelotti has expressed confidence that Real Madrid can cope without star forward Kylian Mbappe in their upcoming La Liga derby against Atletico Madrid on Sunday. Mbappe has been ruled out for three weeks due to a hamstring injury, but Ancelotti remains optimistic about his side’s chances.
Speaking ahead of the match, Ancelotti highlighted the team’s ability to perform without the Frenchman, referencing their experience from last season. “We’ve managed without Kylian before, and we can do so again. We have the quality and depth to deal with these situations,” the Italian manager stated.
Currently sitting second in La Liga, Real Madrid will look to their other attacking talents to fill the void left by Mbappe. Players like Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Vinicius Junior will be key to the team’s offensive strategy. Despite ongoing racial abuse concerns aimed at Vinicius from certain Atletico Madrid supporters, Ancelotti confirmed the Brazilian is focused and ready for the match.
Additionally, Ancelotti revealed that midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is fully fit and available for selection, further bolstering the team’s options.
The Madrid derby is set to be a highly anticipated clash, with both teams vying for crucial points in the early stages of the season.
