Not summoned by Didier Deschamps for the next gathering of the French team, Kylian Mbappé is starting with Real Madrid to face Villarreal this Saturday in La Liga.
He is definitely present. Announced as a starter by the Spanish press for the Villarreal reception this Saturday for the 9th day of La Liga, Kylian Mbappé is indeed in the eleven concocted by Carlo Ancelotti. The former Parisian accompanies Vinicius Jr within the Madrid team, who will try to temporarily join Barça at the top of the championship.
A tenure which seems surprising, since the captain of the Blues was not selected by Didier Deschamps for the next two matches of the French team against Israel (October 10) and Belgium (October 14) in the League of Nations.

Back a week later
Victim of an injury to the left biceps femoris on September 24 against Alavés, Mbappé had to miss at least three weeks of competition depending on the recovery times for this injury. He finally reappeared a week later, coming on as a substitute against Lille on October 2 in the Champions League. “Mbappé trained normally today (Friday). He had a problem which seems to have been resolved, even if it is not yet 100%,” explained Carlo Ancelotti at a press conference on the eve of the Villarreal reception.
A contradictory speech to that given by the coach of the Blues on Thursday when announcing his list, evoking a “need for care” to recover. “I spoke with Kylian and due to his situation which is still uncertain after his entry into play on Wednesday, he has a match on Saturday and there are questions,” he explained in particular.
