Real Madrid will be without the injured Kylian Mbappé in Sunday’s Clasico that could seal a second straight Spanish league title for Barcelona.
Mbappé, the league’s leading scorer with 24 goals, was not included in Madrid’s squad after failing to recover from a left hamstring ailment that has kept him sidelined since late April.
Mbappé last week addressed a fresh wave of criticism of him in Spain, insisting he was fully committed to the club and to recovering from his latest injury. Some Madrid fans had expressed concern that the France forward was saving himself for the upcoming World Cup.
