Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has made a stunning recovery from a thigh injury and will travel to Doha for this week’s Intercontinental Cup final, the Spanish club announced on Monday. The 25-year-old French star had been a major doubt for the showdown against Mexican club Pachuca after pulling up with a left thigh problem in last week’s 3-2 Champions League win at Atalanta.
However, after missing Saturday’s 3-3 league draw at Rayo Vallecano, Mbappe has been cleared to join the squad for Wednesday’s final at the Lusail Stadium. Real Madrid confirmed that Mbappe had participated in the team’s final training session ahead of the Doha trip, doing some work with the rest of the squad and some individual exercises.
The news will come as a major boost to Real Madrid, who are looking to add another trophy to their collection. The Intercontinental Cup brings together the winners of continental tournaments, with Real qualifying directly for the final as the 2024 UEFA Champions League winners.
With Mbappe back in the fold, Real Madrid will be looking to overcome Pachuca and claim the Intercontinental Cup title. The Spanish giants are currently third in La Liga, just one point behind leaders Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with a game in hand, and will host Sevilla next Sunday. The return of Mbappe will be a welcome addition to the squad as they look to maintain their push for domestic and international honors.
