Kylian Mbappé is confirmed fit and available for Real Madrid's crucial LaLiga match against Real Sociedad on Saturday. The France international had sparked concerns after spending two days working separately from the team in the gym this week, but manager Álvaro Arbeloa assured reporters that Mbappé trained with the group on Friday and will feature at the Bernabéu.

Mbappé has been in sensational form this season, scoring 38 goals across all competitions, though he's battled a persistent left-knee problem in recent months. The injury forced him to miss key matches including the Champions League tie against Manchester City and limited his role in the Spanish Supercopa. His availability comes at a crucial time as Madrid sit just one point behind leaders Barcelona in the title race.

Real Sociedad arrive on an impressive 11-game unbeaten streak under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, making this a pivotal fixture for both teams. Madrid have won their last seven LaLiga games but have struggled in other competitions, including a 4-2 defeat at Benfica that eliminated them from the Champions League top eight. The match also comes amid news of Madrid's agreement with UEFA to end their five-year dispute over the breakaway European Super League.
