Kylian Mbappé's recent situation has sparked discussions as he has been excluded from Didier Deschamps' squad for the French national team, yet he has been included in Real Madrid's lineup for the upcoming La Liga match against Villarreal this Saturday at 9 p.m. This decision follows his recent return from a hamstring injury sustained earlier this season.
Mbappé made a surprising comeback during the Champions League match against Lille, although he experienced some muscle discomfort, leading to his omission from the French squad for the Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium on October 10 and 14.
Didier Deschamps commented on Mbappé's situation, indicating that while the injury is not serious, it requires careful management to ensure full recovery. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed cautious optimism regarding Mbappé's fitness, stating that the player trained normally but is still not at 100%. The match against Villarreal is crucial as Real Madrid currently sits second in La Liga, trailing FC Barcelona by three points.
- Kylian Mbappé's absence from the French squad marks a significant moment, especially with Antoine Griezmann also announcing his international retirement. This leaves a gap in the attacking lineup for the national team as they prepare for crucial Nations League matches. Real Madrid's performance in La Liga has been strong, with the team securing 18 points from eight matches, just behind FC Barcelona. Villarreal, who is also in contention with 17 points, will present a challenge for Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Fans are eager to see if Mbappé will take the field against Villarreal and how he will impact the team's dynamics following his recent injury.
