Kylian Mbappé will be sidelined for Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano after sustaining a left-thigh injury. This injury occurred earlier this week, and it has ruled him out of the match on Saturday.

Ancelotti Remains Hopeful For Mbappé’s Recovery

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti believes despite the setback, Mbappé will likely recover for Intercontinental Cup final next week. The match is set to take place on December 18, where Madrid faces either Pachuca or Al Ahly in Qatar. “We will see if he can play without taking any (injury) risks,” he observed. “He will travel because we think he can recover from the injury,” he added as quoted by ESPN India.

Injury Sustained By Kylian Mbappe

Mbappé suffered the injury in his 50th Champions League goal in the 3-2 win over Atalanta on Tuesday. It was after he had gone on to score. In the match, he made way for another player with the injury. Ancelotti said it is almost impossible to trace the beginning of injuries: “It’s difficult to say where they (injuries) come from.”

Other Players Recovering From Injuries

Ancelotti was also very positive about other players. For instance, France’s Eduardo Camavinga had hamstring problems but is now fine and fit for selection. Even Austria’s David Alaba is returning from a knee injury. So, more depth in Real Madrid would be expected before the resumption of matches.Kylian Mbappé will miss Real Madrid’s next La Liga game against Rayo Vallecano due to a left-thigh injury.
