Champions League: Real Madrid get major injury boost ahead Lille clash

by · Daily Post

Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, has travelled with the rest of the squad for their Champions League clash at Lille.

Mbappe has recovered from a hamstring problem and is fit enough for the game.

The 25-year-old had limped off during Madrid’s 3-2 win over Alaves on September 24 and was expected to miss around three weeks.

He was unavailable for last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, but is now ready to play again.

AS reports that Mbappe has “good feelings” about his condition, although a final decision on his return has not yet been made.

Madrid’s squad does not include goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is set for a short spell on the sidelines with a groin injury. Fran Gonzalez and Sergio Mestre will provide cover for Andriy Lunin in between the sticks.
