Kylian Mbappé has once again become the center of attention for Real Madrid. Fans were surprised to see his name included in the squad traveling to Lille, especially since the striker was expected to be out until after the international break due to a muscle injury. However, Carlo Ancelotti confirmed today that it was merely a muscle overload, and Mbappé’s quick recovery has been a pleasant surprise for the club.
During the press conference, Ancelotti emphasized that Mbappé would play if there was no risk, stating, "If there is no risk, he will play from the first minute." This evening, at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille, the final fitness test confirmed that the French forward is ready to play.
According to several media reports, Mbappé has passed the last fitness test and is now available for selection by Carlo Ancelotti. Despite his successful recovery, there remains some uncertainty about whether he will start the match. The coaching staff is still considering his recent overload and may opt to bring him off the bench in the second half. If he does start, he is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes, though Mbappé feels fully recovered and eager to continue making his mark with Real Madrid. The final decision on his role will be made tomorrow.
