Superstar forward could still return for El Clasico as Real Madrid refuse to give up hope
At a crucial stage of the season, Real Madrid may have received a timely boost.
Despite growing concerns around Kylian Mbappeâs fitness, the possibility of his return before the campaign concludes has not been ruled out, according to a report from Damian Casol.
The French forwardâs situation has been under intense scrutiny ever since he was forced off late in Madridâs 1-1 draw against Real Betis.
His substitution in the 81st minute immediately raised alarms, especially given his importance to the team during the final stretch of the season.
Soon after, reports began to circulate suggesting that Mbappe may have already played his last match of the campaign.
For a player of his influence, that would have been a significant blow for Real Madrid ahead of the El Clasico.
However, those claims now appear premature.
Fresh updates indicate that Real Madrid have not closed the door on his return.
Internally, there is still a belief that Mbappe could feature again this season, with particular focus on the upcoming El Clasico.
Kylian Mbappe's fitness is under scrutiny, but Real Madrid has not ruled out his return for El Clasico.
The next El Clasico match is scheduled for March 2024.

The club have confirmed that the forward is dealing with an injury to the semitendinosus muscle in his left leg, an issue that naturally requires careful management.
Despite this, the message from within Valdebebas remains cautiously optimistic and the plan is to do everything possible to have him available for the Clasico scheduled for 10 May.
Sure, the timeline is ambitious, but not impossible.
However, what complicates matters is Mbappeâs recent injury history.
Earlier this year, he missed several matches across February and March due to knee problems.
This is where another stakeholder enters the picture â the French national team.
With the FIFA World Cup approaching, France will be monitoring his situation closely.
Any aggravation of the current issue could have wider consequences, potentially affecting his availability for the tournament.
For now, the situation remains open. Mbappe is not out and even the possibility of his return for El Clasico is enough to give Real Madrid some hope.
