Kylian Mbappe has handed Real Madrid a significant fitness boost ahead of the Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca. The World Cup winner has returned to training after nursing a thigh injury that kept him out of the team’s 3-3 draw with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
Mbappe’s injury was sustained during a Champions League clash with Atalanta on December 10. However, the 25-year-old has made a swift recovery and was put through his paces on Monday. This gives him a little over 48 hours to prove his fitness before Carlo Ancelotti settles on a matchday squad for the Intercontinental Cup final.
The return of Mbappe is a significant boost for Real Madrid as they bid to win their second trophy of the season. The team has already lifted the UEFA Super Cup and will be looking to add the Intercontinental Cup to their collection. Mbappe has been in impressive form this season, scoring 12 goals in all competitions, including four in his last six appearances.
Real Madrid’s Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca is scheduled to take place in Qatar. The team will be looking to overcome the Mexican outfit and claim the trophy. Pachuca defeated Egyptian and African side Al Ahly on penalties last week to move to the final of the competition.
With Mbappe back in training, Ancelotti will have a full squad to choose from, and the Frenchman’s participation in the final will be a significant boost to the team’s chances.
The Intercontinental Cup final is a significant competition for Real Madrid, and the team will be looking to make a statement by winning the trophy. With Mbappe back in the fold, the team will be confident of overcoming Pachuca and claiming the title. The final is scheduled to take place in the coming days, and all eyes will be on Mbappe to see if he can lead Real Madrid to victory.
