Next Saturday, Kylian Mbappé should be fit to start for Real Madrid against Villarreal in La Liga.

According to information from the newspaper AS, Mbappé is fit to return to competition. Back in Madrid this Monday, the French forward will continue his conditioning work at Valdebebas. He had suffered a blow to his left knee while with the France national team.

Kylian Mbappé is suffering from hyperextension of the posterior capsule, an injury ultimately deemed less serious than feared and not requiring surgery. The Frenchman was also absent from collective training on Monday morning because of his late return. However, he should gradually resume training with his teammates.
