Kylian Mbappé could see action against Lille if Carlo Ancelotti sees fit, as the French striker has recovered in record time from his left femoral biceps injury
Real Madrid has recently been involved in a rather surprising situation. Why? The Merengue team was apparently going to have Kylian Mbappé out for a medium-term injury, who was substituted in the match against Deportivo Alavés (3-2) in matchday six of LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25, after it was revealed that he was suffering from a hamstring injury in his left leg.
Under this premise, it was expected that 'Donatello' would be out for approximately three weeks of competition. However, surprisingly, the Chamartín team included the forward in the squad for the match against LOSC Lille, valid for matchday two of the UEFA Champions League 24/25, which will take place at the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium on Wednesday, October 2.
Carlo Ancelotti talked about Kylian Mbappé's record recovery
This fact was quite surprising, given that it has been just under a week since the French player's injury was announced. With Kylian Mbappé's apparent rapid recovery, the question arose of whether he is fully fit to play for Real Madrid.
This was precisely one of the questions posed to Carlo Ancelotti in the press conference prior to the match between the Spanish and French teams, a question the Italian coach did not evade and openly responded to, revealing the state of the French forward. "He has recovered well, very quickly. He only trained individually yesterday and it is true that he has not stopped for long. He has not lost his condition," he commented.
"The last thing we want to do is take risks."
From this, the question arises of whether Kylian Mbappé was pressured to return quickly to the field, being a key player in Real Madrid's attack. "Mbappé had an overload and, now with the new technologies talking about grade 1 or 2, it is grade 1. Previously, it was a loaded muscle and in just under a week he has recovered well," he added.
"He wanted to travel to play because he is feeling well. We just have to see him today, and if he is fully fit, he can play. We won't take risks. If there are no risks with him, he will play from the first minute," he concluded.
