Madrid. French striker Kylian Mbappé, absent from French coach Didier Deschamps’ list for the ‘Bleus’ next two games, starts this Saturday for Real Madrid, which faces Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu in the League (19:00 GMT ).
Recovered faster than expected from a muscle injury in his left thigh, the captain of the French team has not been called up for the double international date of the Nations League on October 10 and 14 against Israel and Belgium respectively.
“I’m not here to take risks,” Deschamps explained to justify the absence of Mbappé, who played 30 minutes in the match that Real Madrid lost (1-0) on Wednesday at Lille in Champions. The French coach added that Mbappé “does not have a serious problem but it requires time to be treated properly.”
“Mbappé has had a problem that seems resolved, although it is still not 100 percent resolved, although he trained normally,” Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti detailed at a press conference this Friday.
The forward of the white team, who missed the derby against Atlético de Madrid (1-1) last Sunday, returns to the starting lineup and will be part of the attack along with the Brazilian Vinicius Junior.
