Absent from the field since April 24, Kylian Mbappé has been included in the Real Madrid squad which faces Oviedo this Thursday (9:30 p.m.).

Real Madrid’s season may be particularly difficult, but it is not over yet. After their defeat against FC Barcelona last Sunday (2-0), the Merengue definitively said goodbye to the title of champion of Spain. However, they still have three matches to play, including one this Thursday evening at home against Oviedo (9:30 p.m., 36th day of La Liga). Kylian Mbappé is back in the group.

At the heart of multiple debates and controversies in Spain, the current top scorer for his team and La Liga had been on the sidelines for several weeks. Physically recovered, he could play his first minutes of play since April 24 and a draw conceded against Real Betis (1-1). On Wednesday, Alvaro Arbeloa had also declared that he would give playing time to the French striker if his physical condition allowed it.

This should be the case since after participating in the last collective training sessions, Kylian Mbappé saw his name officially placed on the list of players summoned for today’s meeting. Faced with the day lantern relegated for a long time, Real Madrid in any case has the opportunity to find a little smile.

Kylian Mbappé under threat

Guaranteed to finish second in La Liga this season, Real will above all have to please their supporters as best they can. Two days after the surprise press conference called by President Florentino Perez, this will perhaps be the opportunity for Kylian Mbappé and his team to put football back at the center of the news.

As for the Bondynois, he will still have to be wary since he is under threat of suspension. In the event of a yellow card, he will miss his team’s next match, having accumulated four rusks of the said color.
