Real Madrid's star forward, Kylian Mbappe, is now a major doubt for their crucial Champions League clash against Manchester City. The French international missed the team's final training session on Tuesday due to an injury sustained during Sunday's La Liga defeat to Celta Vigo.

Reports indicate that Mbappe suffered a blow to his knee and also broke a finger during the Celta Vigo match. Despite the injury, he played the full 90 minutes. Spanish media reports that Mbappe complained of pain in his finger on Monday. The club has acknowledged his absence from training is due to the injury and "other discomfort" experienced in the game.

The potential absence of Mbappe is a significant blow to Real Madrid and manager Xabi Alonso. Mbappe has been in stellar form this season, scoring 25 goals and providing four assists across all competitions. Real Madrid have been heavily reliant on Mbappe's contributions, with the team struggling to score when he doesn't find the net. According to one report, Real Madrid has only won two of the six games in which Mbappe has failed to score this season. Furthermore, in their last four matches, every goal scored by Alonso's side has been either created or converted by the No. 10.

Adding to Real Madrid's woes, Eduardo Camavinga also missed Tuesday's training session due to an ankle injury, making him doubtful for the match. Real Madrid already have a number of first-team players sidelined, including Éder Militão, Dean Huijsen, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ferland Mendy.

The match against Manchester City is being billed as a "do-or-die" fixture for Xabi Alonso, who is reportedly under pressure. Real Madrid has endured a run of poor form, with only two wins in their last eight games. Some reports suggest that a defeat against City could lead to his dismissal. Alonso addressed questions about his future in a press conference on Tuesday, stating that "We are all on the same boat".

Mbappe's possible absence also puts a highly anticipated showdown with Manchester City's Erling Haaland in jeopardy. Mbappe has a strong record against Manchester City, including a hat-trick in last season's competition.

Real Madrid will assess Mbappe's condition over the next 24 hours to determine his availability for the game.
