Kylian Mbappe has made significant progress in his recovery from injury and has been included in Real Madrid’s squad for their upcoming match against Lille on Wednesday. The talented forward suffered a hamstring injury during Madrid’s victory over Alaves on September 24 and was initially expected to be out of action for around three weeks, causing him to miss the recent draw with Atletico Madrid.
However, Mbappe’s recovery has been faster than anticipated, leading to his inclusion in the squad for the Lille game just over a week after sustaining the injury. According to reports from AS, Mbappe is feeling positive about his condition, although a final decision on his return has not yet been made.
Mbappe continued his rehabilitation work during Monday’s training session and will have an opportunity to participate further on Tuesday. The medical staff will then assess whether he is fit enough to play in the match.
If Mbappe does make an appearance against Lille, it could be an emotional evening for him as he would have the chance to face off against his younger brother Ethan. Ethan recently joined Lille from Paris Saint-Germain and has already made four senior appearances for the club.
In other team news, Real Madrid will be without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois due to a groin injury. Fran Gonzalez and Sergio Mestre will provide cover for Andriy Lunin in goal while Courtois recovers.
Mbappe’s potential return is eagerly awaited by fans as they hope he can make a positive impact on the pitch once again.
