Even for a few minutes, Kylian Mbappé is probably ready for anything with a view to the final of the Intercontinental Cup which will pit Real Madrid against Pachuca on Wednesday in Doha (6 p.m.).
Kylian Mbappé wants to shorten the deadlines as much as possible. Last Tuesday, the Real Madrid striker had a mixed evening against Atalanta Bergamo (2-3). Author of the opener, he then had to give up his place due to an injury, which the Merengue club confirmed less than 48 hours later with a medical press release reporting a “thigh injury of the left leg. Due to this injury, the number 9 of Real Madrid did not take part in the recent match of his team, neutralized on the lawn of Rayo Vallecano on Saturday (3-3), but he will travel to Qatar in the run-up to the final of the Intercontinental Cup scheduled to face Mexican club Pachuca on Wednesday in Lusail (6 p.m.).
Osteopath and personal physiotherapist for a Mbappé determined to play
Winner and scorer in his first final played with Real Madrid – the European Super Cup won against Atalanta Bergamo in Poland in August – Mbappé intends to participate in a second final with the club of his dreams, even if it was supposed to be for a few minutes even though he is not announced as a starter and an absence of 10 days was estimated on Thursday (according to AS and Marca). “He will go to Qatar and we will assess the risks there,” Carlo Ancelotti has already warned before Real’s match against Rayo Vallecano. In order to speed up his recovery process, as Relevo points out, Mbappé was entrusted to the osteopath who has been treating him since his stay in Monaco, during his debut as a professional footballer. In recent days, the captain of the Blues has therefore increased the number of sessions in order to be in fairly optimal shape for the final of the Intercontinental Cup with the hope of playing “a few minutes” according to Relevo.
Also treated with a personal physiotherapist, he should not start, but the prospect of participating in a new final with Real Madrid seems vital in the eyes of a Mbappé retained in the group for the final and heavily criticized since his very contrasting debut with the jersey of the club of his dreams.
