Injured in the biceps femoris of his left leg last week, Kylian Mbappé appears to everyone’s surprise in the Real Madrid squad for the match against Lille. Good news for the Spanish club as well as for Didier Deschamps with a view to upcoming matches for the Blues.
The day after his injury, contracted on September 24, we learned that Kylian Mbappé was going to miss three weeks of competition. His absence for the French team’s matches against Israel and Belgium in the Nations League was therefore recorded. But against all expectations, the former Paris Saint-Germain striker is in the Real Madrid group for the trip to Lille, this Wednesday evening in the Champions League (9 p.m.). A summons that changes everything for Didier Deschamps. Why would the Blues coach deprive himself of his captain if the latter is fit and playing with Real, whether on Wednesday on the Lille pitch or Saturday evening against Villarreal?
L’Equipe indicates that within the Madrid club, it is claimed that Kylian Mbappé “has recovered very well from his injury, that he has good feelings and that it is not ruled out that he plays a few minutes against Lille”. Good news for Didier Deschamps, who will however have to negotiate with Real Madrid regarding the use of number 9 at Casa Blanca. The national daily confirms that if he plays with his club, Kylian Mbappé will appear on the list of players called up by Didier Deschamps for upcoming matches with the French team. Real cannot oppose it, but the Spanish club would like to find an agreement with Didier Deschamps so that the former Monegasque does not play 90 minutes twice.
Deschamps will discuss with the Real Madrid staff
During the last meeting, the staff of Real and the French team had already discussed and an agreement had been reached so that Kylian Mbappé would not start in the two matches, a commitment that Didier Deschamps had kept by leaving his captain in charge. rest against Belgium at the start of the match. Discussions of the same content will therefore be held soon, and they will be even more important for Real Madrid after the injury contracted by Mbappé against Alavès. Because the challenge for the Merengue club is to quickly find their striker in top form and that he does not relapse while he was starting to find his cruising speed by stringing together goals before getting injured a week ago.
