by In what comes as a huge sigh of relief for Real Madrid, reports from Mundo Deportivo confirm that Kylian Mbappe will be available for their upcoming La Liga match against Getafe this Sunday.
The French forward, who has already scored 14 goals and two assists this season, played just one of France’s two games and is now ready to rejoin the squad.
Unlike his teammates, who returned to training on Tuesday, Mbappe will join the team on Thursday, with carefully managed plans to prevent his right ankle problem from worsening.
His recovery is being handled with extra caution, but if there are no setbacks he will be available for Xabi Alonso’s selection.
This is excellent news for Alonso. Having his star man back provides both confidence and attacking firepower.
Mbappe has been in red-hot form, scoring in ten consecutive games, and his presence will undoubtedly boost Madrid’s morale ahead of the match.
Cautious approach from Real Madrid
Mbappe’s recent ankle problems started during the match against Villarreal, in which he joined the French national team with mild pain.
During that international camp, he hardly trained for most of the week, but still managed to impress against Azerbaijan.
However, he was unable to finish the match and was later released by Didier Deschamps ahead of France’s match against Iceland.
Upon his return to Madrid, the medical team immediately carried out tests and fortunately ruled out serious injuries.
What is Real Madrid’s plan?
The plan remains for him to skip early practices this week before gradually returning to full team practice on Thursday.
Real Madrid are not taking any chances, preferring to ensure their most valuable attacker is fully ready before the weekend.
If his condition continues to improve, fans can expect Mbappe to lead against Getafe, ready to continue his remarkable scoring run and continue his explosive start to the season.
