Mbappé to miss Real Madrid’s copa clash against Real Sociedad

Kylian Mbappé will miss Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey semifinal first leg against Real Sociedad due to a dental problem.

The French forward underwent a minor operation to extract a molar and missed training on Tuesday ahead of the clash.

Mbappe’s absence would be a significant blow to Real Madrid, as he is the team’s leading goalscorer with 28 goals in 39 matches across all competitions this season.
