French striker Kylian Mbappé, absent from Didier Deschamps’ list for the Blues’ next two matches, starts with Real Madrid on Saturday October 5 for the reception of Villarreal in La Liga.
Sparing after a muscular injury to the left thigh from which he returned more quickly than expected, the captain of the France team was not selected for the Nations League matches against Israel (October 10) and Belgium (14 october).
“I’m not here to take risks.”had explained the coach Didier Deschamps to justify the absence of Mbappéwho nevertheless played thirty minutes – and lost – with Real Madrid in Lille (1-0), Wednesday evening, evoking “not a serious problem but requiring care to be able to recover properly”.
“A problem that seems to have been resolved”
“Mbappé had a problem which seems to have been resolved, but not yet 100%, even if he trained normally”Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti explained at a press conference on Friday.
The No. 9 Merengue, absent during the draw (1-1) in the Madrid derby against Atlético last Sunday, finds his place in attack alongside the Brazilian Vinicius Junior for the reception of Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu (21 h).
