Although not selected for the French team by Didier Deschamps, French striker Kylian Mbappé figures well in the Real Madrid group on the eve of the match of the 9th day of La Liga against Villarreal, Saturday evening at the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium.
Carlo Ancelotti is counting on Kylian Mbappé. After playing a good half hour against Lille (1-0) on Wednesday evening in the Champions League, the French striker is once again present in the Real Madrid group on the eve of the Liga match against Villarreal on Saturday evening at Santiago-Bernabeu (9 p.m.). The Frenchman had been sidelined for a week due to discomfort in his left thigh. While three weeks of absence were announced, Mbappé made a surprise return to the Madrid group to face the Mastiffs in C1. “Mbappé had a problem which seems to be resolved, but not 100%. He trained normally today (Friday),” said his coach, Carlo Ancelotti at a press conference.
Ancelotti: “I don’t want to comment on what the coaches say”
If the Italian technician judges his striker fit and available, this is not the case for Didier Deschamps who has decided not to call him up to the French team to face Israel and Belgium on October 10 and 14 in the Nations League. “I don’t want to comment on what the coaches say, reacted the ex-PSG coach. Deschamps decided not to call him. I don’t know if Mbappé spoke to his coach, but I know that the staff club medical spoke with the French team.” While waiting to know if the captain of the Blues will start the match against Villarreal on Saturday evening, he remains on a good run of five goals in his last four appearances in La Liga.
