Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé will be unavailable for ten days after injuring his thigh during the victory (2-3) against Atalanta in the Champions League. At a press conference this Friday, December 13, Carlo Ancelotti reassured about the Frenchman’s state of health while expressing his incomprehension as to the origin of this injury.
The Italian technician confirmed that Mbappé would miss the Madrid derby against Rayo Vallecano, but should be fit for the trip to Qatar, where Real Madrid will play the Intercontinental Cup final.
Ancelotti reassuring but perplexed
“It’s not something serious. He will not be available tomorrow, but he will travel to Qatar, as we believe he can recover in time. We will see if he can play part of the match or not,” explained Ancelotti.
However, the Real coach admitted to not understanding this new injury: “It’s complicated to say where it comes from. He stayed here during the last international breaks, he worked well and rested. His performances had a positive impact. Fortunately, it’s not a long-term absence. »
A short absence before crucial deadlines
Mbappé’s injury comes as Real Madrid prepare for decisive matches in La Liga and the Intercontinental Cup. The White House will nevertheless be able to count on the return of Vinicius Junior, ready to resume his offensive role alongside his teammates.
