Real Madrid fans, get ready for some good news! According to a recent update from Jose Luis Sanchez on El Chiringuito TV, the club is growing increasingly optimistic that Kylian Mbappe will be available for Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo. After a few tense days following his last-minute withdrawal from El Clasico, the French superstar has shown encouraging signs in training that have the entire squad buzzing.

Let's rewind a bit. Mbappe's absence from the recent El Clasico against Barcelona was a major blow for Real Madrid. The forward had been expected to feature in one of the season's biggest matches, but things took a turn during the final training session before kickoff. Feeling discomfort in his hamstring area, Mbappe was forced to stop midway through practice, sparking immediate concern at Valdebebas. The situation escalated further when he didn't board the flight to Barcelona with the rest of the squad on match day.

But here's the turnaround: just days after missing that crucial fixture, Mbappe was back on the training pitch, completing a full group session without any visible issues. Reports indicate he participated in everything—sprint drills, shooting exercises, and even physical duels—showing no signs of the discomfort that sidelined him. This has given Real Madrid fresh hope that their star man is "on course" to return against Oviedo on Thursday.

Of course, the coaching staff is still weighing their options. Will Mbappe start immediately, or will they ease him back gradually after the recent scare? At this point, the only certainty is that he'll be included in the squad. But as any sports fan knows, nobody wants to make definitive guarantees too early—especially with a player of Mbappe's caliber. Still, this positive update is a huge lift for the team and their supporters as they prepare for the upcoming fixture.
