Emotions for real madrid with three days left until the second leg of the “quarters” of the Champions League. Kylian Mbappe was absent from today's training of Alvaro Arbeloa due to the discomfort felt at the level of the eyebrow, as a result of the kick received on Friday in the match with Girona (1-1).
Mbappe needed medical attention after being hit in the face inside the box. With blood running down his face, Kylian had to leave the field briefly. The resulting discomfort caused him to miss Sunday's practice.
Real Madrid are focused on Wednesday's match in Munich with Bayern (1-2, away) to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League and are nervous about Mbappe's fitness.
Alvaro Arbeloa's players prepared in the strength room before taking to the pitch in Valdebebas for various exercises, especially high intensity. However, the French striker did not attend today's session with his teammates.

Kylian Mbappe opted for a few stitches to an eyebrow
In the match against Girona, VAR refused to review an intervention following which Kylian was left with blood on his face. He needed stitches above his eyeas announced by Real Madrid. That problem should not stop him from resuming his training to be in top form for the match at the Allianz Arena.
The absence from training was due to pain in the eyebrow, but was primarily taken as a precaution. It will not be known until tomorrow if he will be available or if he will not be able to train with the rest of the group yet.
However, Los Blancos will have to endure a few absences. Courtois and Rodrygo continue their recovery from injury, with the Belgian goalkeeper making every effort to return to goal. Tchouameni will be suspended after receiving a yellow card in the tour match.
