The star striker has injured his thigh and is in danger of being out for longer. However, he may make a quick comeback after all. His coach Ancelotti comments on the Frenchman's condition.
Kylian Mbappé could make a quicker comeback than expected after his injury. The Real Madrid star striker was surprisingly named in the Spanish record champions' squad for the away game in the Champions League at OSC Lille on Wednesday (21:00/live on blue Sport). The 25-year-old had recently suffered a muscle injury to his left thigh and was initially at risk of missing several weeks. He was absent from Sunday's derby against Atletico (1:1).
"He recovered well, very quickly," reported coach Carlo Ancelotti. A decision as to whether the Frenchman will be able to play again for the visit to his home country will be made at short notice. And then he could even be in the starting eleven. "If he is 100 percent fit and there is no risk, he will play from the first minute," announced Ancelotti at the press conference ahead of the second preliminary round match.
