Will Mbappé Play in the Intercontinental Cup Final?
Kylian Mbappé's injury has cast doubt over his availability for Real Madrid in the Intercontinental Cup Final, scheduled for December 18 in Doha. The French forward, who left the Champions League match against Atalanta due to a muscular discomfort, remains uncertain for this critical game.
Mbappé’s Fitness Update
Medical tests confirmed that Mbappé suffered a hamstring injury in his left leg. With an estimated recovery period of ten days, his participation in the final is uncertain. While his return has not been entirely ruled out, it will depend on his progress during the week.
In a press conference, coach Carlo Ancelotti emphasized caution:
"We won’t risk Mbappé’s health. We’ll evaluate his condition after training, but we won’t make any decisions that compromise his well-being," the Italian manager stated. This measured approach reflects the team’s priority to ensure the forward’s full recovery amid an already injury-plagued squad.
¿Contra quién jugará el Real Madrid la Final de la Copa Intercontinental?
Real Madrid will face the winner of the Al Ahly vs. Pachuca semifinal. Pachuca advanced after defeating Botafogo in the Derby of Las Américas earlier in the tournament.
