Will Mbappé play against Villarreal? The answer is known
Kylian Mbappé has taken the most important step toward returning to the pitch.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, Kylian Mbappé trained normally with the Real Madrid group on Wednesday, October 7, for the first time this week. His knee discomfort has subsided and, barring a setback, the French forward is expected to be available for the LaLiga clash against Villarreal on October 10. He could even return straight to the starting XI.
Mbappé's recovery has progressed rapidly. On October 5, Real Madrid's official website reported that the striker was still working individually, both indoors and on the pitch, with the aim of being ready for Villarreal. Two days later, he was already back working normally with his teammates.
AS also reports that the forward has overcome the knee problem and is expected to be in José Mourinho's plans for Saturday's game at the Santiago Bernabéu. Therefore, the current answer is yes: everything points to Mbappé featuring against Villarreal, provided there is no late reaction.
It is worth noting that Mbappé has played seven LaLiga matches this season and scored seven goals, completing 630 minutes on the pitch. Real Madrid sit fourth with 15 points after seven rounds, while Villarreal are ninth with eight points.
