Kylian Mbappe will be out for Real Madrid’s game against Real Sociedad due to his tooth extraction.
In the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg at Anoeta versus Real Sociedad, Real Madrid will be without a major portion of their starting lineup. Kylian Mbappe, the sensational striker, is at the top of that list.
Diario AS claims that Mbappe is doubtful for Los Blancos since he missed Tuesday’s training due to a minor tooth extraction procedure. Carlo Ancelotti will have plenty of options if he doesn’t return to the starting lineup. Endrick Felipe, Brahim Diaz, and Arda Guler are all potential players who might join Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior.
Star goalie Thibaut Courtois is confirmed to be out for Los Blancos at the other end of the field. With Andriy Lunin still playing as their Copa del Rey custodian, Courtois, who has had several injury problems in recent seasons, will be left behind in Madrid for the trip.
Following the decision to rest the Uruguayan, Fede Valverde has also been ruled out for Real Madrid. Although Valverde has been playing effectively at right-back, he was not particularly noticed during last week’s match against Manchester City due to soreness and painkiller shots. This past weekend, Lucas Vazquez played in place of him against Girona and is anticipated to stay there against La Real.
Jude Bellingham is also expected to return to the starting lineup, and Aurelien Tchouameni is expected to play alongside Dani Ceballos in midfield. Despite serving bans in both La Liga and the Champions League, the English star is not suspended for the Copa del Rey match.

For their home semifinal matchup at Anoeta, the Txuri-Urdin have a lot of their own problems. Along with Luka Sucic, central defender Nayef Aguerd sustained an injury during their victory over Leganes and will not play. Sheraldo Becker, Hamari Traore, and Igor Zubeldia may return, although Arsen Zakharyan is also doubtful after suffering an injury.
