Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 9 Jan - Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Thursday that superstar French striker Kylian Mbappe is fit to play in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona after a knee sprain.

The forward was left out of Madrid's travelling party to Saudi Arabia, with Los Blancos beating city rivals Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the semi-final on Thursday to set up a Clasico final on Sunday.

"(Mbappe) is a lot better, he is feeling good, and he has the same chance of playing as his team-mates," Alonso told reporters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Alonso said Mbappe would fly to join the squad on Friday.

The 27-year-old is Madrid's top goalscorer with 29 goals this season across all competitions in 24 appearances.

Holders Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 5-0 on Wednesday in the first semi-final.BSS
