Real Madrid<\/a> manager Carlo Ancelotti will have key attackers Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 and Vinicius Jr available for Sunday’s La Liga<\/a> match against Celta Vigo, following their full return to group training at Valdebebas<\/a> on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

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 Bala\u00eddos.<\/p>\n

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 \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o. 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.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 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.<\/p>\n
