Real Madrid Boosted as Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr Return to Training Ahead of Celta Vigo Clash
Both superstar attackers cleared individual training setbacks to rejoin Carlo Ancelotti's full squad ahead of Sunday's La Liga fixture.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will have key attackers Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr available for Sunday’s La Liga match against Celta Vigo, following their full return to group training at Valdebebas on Thursday morning.
Concerns over the duo’s availability surfaced on Wednesday when both players were restricted to individual sessions away from the main squad. However, medical staff granted full clearance after evaluating their progress, allowing both forwards to complete Thursday’s session and position themselves to start at Balaídos.
The return of the pair provides crucial stability to a Real Madrid squad already navigating significant injury setbacks this season, including major long-term absences for key defensive figures such as Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão. With Real Madrid actively chasing Barcelona in the La Liga title race and managing tight turnarounds between domestic and UEFA Champions League fixtures, maintaining offensive continuity remains essential for Ancelotti.
Mbappé and Vinicius have served as the focal point of Madrid’s attack throughout the campaign, combining for the majority of the team’s offensive output. Their full recovery allows Ancelotti to field his preferred front line intact as Madrid prepare for Sunday’s league encounter.
