Will Mbappé play in the match against Juventus?

For Madrid’s “Real” club, the next serious test is the Round of 16 match at the Club World Cup against Juventus. Ahead of this clash, an important piece of news surprised the fans — the team's new star Kylian Mbappé may return to the squad.

The former leader of the France national team and PSG, now Real Madrid's striker Mbappé, missed the entire group stage. The reason was a health issue — diagnosed gastroenteritis. However, it has now been reported that the situation has drastically changed.

Real Madrid's head coach Xabi Alonso responded to journalists’ questions about Mbappé’s condition as follows:

“Kylian's condition is steadily improving. We talk to him every day and his mood is positive. We will consult once more and make a final decision. His chances of stepping onto the pitch are very high. I can’t say exactly how many minutes he’ll play, but he must be ready to make his debut,” said the Spanish specialist.

It should be noted that Kylian Mbappé has not yet played in official matches for Real in the Club World Cup, so this match may mark his official debut for the Madrid team. This gives the match special significance for fans, who have long been waiting to see Mbappé in action.

Juventus is traditionally considered a tough opponent. The Italian club always plays with high morale and discipline. In such circumstances, the return of a fast and experienced forward like Mbappé could significantly strengthen Real’s chances.

The match is scheduled to begin today at 00:00 Tashkent time. Fans expect Kylian Mbappé to be the central figure of the evening.

His return is a much-anticipated event not only for Real, but for the entire football world. Now the answers will be given directly on the pitch. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
