Fatshimetrie recently revealed that Real Madrid star striker Kylian Mbappe has suffered a leg injury that will rule him out of the upcoming Spanish La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano. However, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti is hopeful that the young Frenchman can recover in time to play in the Intercontinental Cup final next week.
Ancelotti confirmed on Friday that Mbappe’s left thigh injury, sustained this week, will rule him out of Saturday’s game. However, the Italian boss added that Mbappe will travel with the rest of the squad to Doha for the Intercontinental Cup final on December 18, where Real Madrid will face either Pachuca or Al Ahly.
“We will see if he can play without taking risks (of a relapse),” Ancelotti told reporters. “He will travel with us because we believe he can recover from his injury.”
Mbappe’s injury occurred in the Champions League match against Atalanta, where he was substituted after scoring in Real Madrid’s 3-2 win. The injury has raised concerns about his participation in the Intercontinental Cup final, but Ancelotti remains optimistic that his talented forward will be able to count on him.
The injury comes on top of recent concerns over Mbappe’s fitness, as he has suffered a series of injuries in recent months. His absence from the La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano will therefore be a major blow to Real Madrid, who are counting on him to maintain their momentum in the league and European competitions.
In conclusion, Mbappe’s injury raises questions about his fitness and ability to stay fit throughout the season. Real Madrid fans are eagerly awaiting to see if he can recover in time for the Intercontinental Cup final and continue to shine on the pitch.
