BREAKING! Kylian Mbappé returns and will start against Pachuca

Kylian Mbappé sustained an injury during the UEFA Champions League match against Atalanta and missed the last La Liga fixture. It has now been confirmed whether he will play in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final.

Details: On their X (formerly Twitter) account, Real Madrid published the starting lineup, confirming that the French forward is ready to play. Mbappé will start in the lineup against Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final.

Here is Real Madrid's starting lineup for the final:

Earlier, it was reported that Mbappé had assured Real Madrid’s medical staff and coaching team that he was ready to play in the final. Mbappé expressed his readiness, insisting he is in excellent physical condition.

Reminder: Mbappé’s style of play at Real Madrid has differed from what we saw at PSG. This was indirectly confirmed by Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti, who openly stated that the Frenchman still needs time to adapt to the football of his new team.

Former Real Madrid player Christophe Dugarry had previously criticized Ancelotti for his decision to bring Mbappé to the Madrid squad.
