Kylian Mbappé set to return for Real Madrid clash with Villarreal

Kylian Mbappé is expected to be fit for Real Madrid’s La Liga meeting with Villarreal on Saturday despite suffering a knee injury during the international break. According to a report by Managing Madrid, the French forward is recovering cautiously from the hyperextended knee but should be available for selection.

Mbappé’s return could nevertheless be managed carefully, with Real Madrid facing a demanding trip to Roma next week. The club may therefore avoid rushing the forward back into the starting XI, particularly with El Clásico approaching later this month. The latest update will come as a major boost to Madrid, with Mbappé expected to be fully ready for the crucial clash against Barcelona.
