Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Kylian Mbappé has joined the long list of Real Madrid players sidelined due to injury.

Real Madrid have filed a formal complaint to the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) asking for the “immediate submission of VAR audio” related to two decisions in their 1-0 defeat by Espanyol. The complaint follows referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz’s decision to show Espanyol defender Carlos Romero a yellow card for a 60th-minute challenge on Kylian Mbappe as well as a disallowed goal by Vinicius Junior in the 21st minute after a foul by the France forward.

Spanish league president Javier Tebas has lashed out at Real Madrid. He says the club leadership has “lost its mind” for accusing Spain’s referees of being biased against the defending champion.

Real Madrid will have to get past Leganes in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals without Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. Coming off a shocking 1–0 defeat to Espanyol at the weekend, Real Madrid will be eager to get back to winning ways against Leganes.

Carlo Ancelotti said Kylian Mbappe would miss Real Madrid's upcoming Copa del Rey quarter-final against Leganes with a bruised calf and backed his club's complaints about Spanish refereeing on Tuesday.
