Will Kylian Mbappé be in the Madrid group which faces Lille on Wednesday evening in the Champions League? Doubt is allowed.
For the moment, the scenario suggests that he will be there. Affected in the biceps femoris of the left thigh last Tuesday during a La Liga match against Alaves (3-2), Kylian Mbappé was initially announced to be absent for two to three weeks. But
Real Madrid finally indicated that their player was recovering much faster than expected of his problem and that he was part of the group traveling to Lille to face Losc on Wednesday evening (9 p.m.), in the Champions League. However, things would not be as simple as that.
Real Madrid follower for The TeamAntoine Simmoneau provided a very different perspective on the reality of the situation. Stating straight away that Kylian Mbappé would not play
“probably not” against the Mastiffs, the journalist explained that everything would be gone “from a personal wish from Kylian Mbappé to travel with the Madrid group”. A desire which could be explained firstly by the fact that Lille is the team of his little brother, Ethan (finally injured and absent for this match), and then because this match would allow him to make his return to France under the colors of Real Madrid.
“Not saying he’s on the scoresheet”
But the observer wanted to clarify things about the real state of form of Kylian Mbappé and the communication from Real ensuring that his state of form would progress at high speed.
“The reality is still quite different because he has not returned to collective training. He just touched the ball yesterday in training and he spends his time in the Real gym carrying out treatment and muscle strengthening. » And Antoine Simmoneau goes even further in his hypotheses:
“It’s not even said that he’s on the scoresheet. The decision will be made tomorrow (Wednesday) between the staff and Kylian Mbappé. »
For the journalist, “the chances are slim” to see the French international play. With one option all the same: “The only chance of seeing him play a few minutes would be if the scenario turned a little sour for Real and Ancelotti tried to equalize or force the decision at the end of the match. He will not play as a starter, that is a certainty and there is a slim chance that he will play a few minutes. »
