Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said striker Kylian Mbappe is poised to return from injury to face rivals Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.
Mbappe missed Madrid's win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in La Liga and will not be available for the visit to face Getafe on Wednesday.
Mbappe will miss Madrid's next La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, as Ancelotti's side try to overhaul leaders Barcelona.
A violent tackle that had Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe sent off in their 1-0 LaLiga win at Deportivo Alaves on Sunday was a consequence of a number of small fouls committed against the Frenchman, said assistant coach Davide Ancelotti.
Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe was sent off for an ugly lunge but his side still beat Alaves 1-0 on Sunday to stay four points behind Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
It was his first red card after joining the Spanish and European champions last summer.
With only a few matches remaining, the race for both the title and the Pichichi remains wide open. Lewandowski and Mbappe will push each other to the limit, knowing that every goal could be the difference between glory and disappointment.
Kylian Mbappe was on Friday among three Real Madrid players fined by UEFA for "violating basic rules of decent conduct" during their Champions League last 16, second leg win over Atletico Madrid.
French football superstar Kylian Mbappe often leaves defenders stunned and static on the field. For a change, he can now see his waxy doppelganger frozen in his trademark celebration at the famous Madame Tussauds in central London. The model, which was unveiled to Mbappe in Madrid last week, travelled to London where it was presented yesterday as the Real Madrid forward joined a long list of iconic footballers who have their wax statues on display at the world-renowned museum.

Mbappe's double took him to 33 strikes in 44 appearances across all competitions, the same number of goals as his idol managed in the 2009-10 campaign.
