Real Madrid only has three games left this season, with them all being in La Liga. Their next opponents will be Real Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight.

Real Madrid lost out on the league title after losing 2-0 to FC Barcelona over the weekend. The Real Madrid squad was thin, as they were missing players, with Kylian Mbappe being one of them.

Mbappe trained last week ahead of El Clásico but was unable to be fit enough to make the squad and missed the match. Mbappe returned to team training this week ahead of the Real Oviedo match.

Mbappe did not face any issues with an injury and trained normally with the rest of the team. Mbappe has now been included in the Real Madrid squad list for the match against Real Oviedo.

Will Kylian Mbappe Start for Real Madrid vs Real Oviedo?

Kylian Mbappe is fit enough to play for Real Madrid today against Real Oviedo. Mbappe is expected to start the match.

Reports from Marca suggest he wants to play the remaining three games for Real Madrid to gain match fitness ahead of the World Cup, which is less than a month away.

Vinicius Junior, Gonzalo Garcia, Brahim Diaz, Franco Mastantuono, and Daniel Yáñez join Mbappe as the attackers available to play tonight for Real Madrid against Real Oviedo.

Mbappe looks to win the Pichichi Trophy for the second consecutive season as he currently leads as the La Liga top goalscorer with 24 goals, two more goals than Mallorca's Vedat Muriqi, who is second.
