Kylian Mbappé has been cleared for action and is traveling with the Real Madrid squad for their massive Champions League showdown against Bayern Munich. The French superstar's availability was in doubt after he suffered a head injury requiring stitches during a LaLiga match last Friday.
After returning to training, Mbappé has been included in the 23-man squad for this decisive quarter-final second leg. His presence is a huge boost for Los Blancos, as he scored their only goal in the first leg's 2-1 defeat at the Bernabéu.
Real Madrid now face a classic European challenge: win in Munich to advance. History favors the Spanish giants, who have won their last four knockout ties against Bayern and are unbeaten in their last four visits to the Allianz Arena.
While Mbappé's return is a major positive, Real will be without the suspended Aurélien Tchouaméni and the injured goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. All eyes will be on Munich to see if Mbappé can help extend Real's remarkable record and keep their quest for a 15th European title alive.
