It’s coming soon! Kylian Mbappé is set to make his Real Madrid debut on Wednesday, in the European Super Cup against Atalanta in Warsaw.
The Bondy player only resumed training last Wednesday, but Carlo Ancelotti should not hesitate to throw him in at the deep end very quickly. Marca recalls the case of Toni Kroos in 2014. Arriving in the wake of the World Cup, the German joined his teammates on August 5 before playing the entire match against Sevilla in Cardiff (2-0) for the European Super Cup.
Busy schedule for Mbappé
What’s next? Nine consecutive starts for the already indispensable Kroos, including La Liga, the Champions League and the Spanish Super Cup. Carlo Ancelotti, who was already Real coach at the time, only gave the former Bayern player a break on October 1, in a Champions League match against Ludogorets.
This shows that Ancelotti is not afraid to integrate his recruits very quickly. We should soon see Mbappé on the pitch, between this match against Atalanta in three days, and the four days of La Liga scheduled between August 18 and September 1, before the next international break.
