The injury alarm has been silenced. Kylian Mbappé is cleared to resume play, and manager José Mourinho has no plans to delay his return.
The left‑knee problem that occurred during France’s encounter with Turkey had raised worries for both Real Madrid and the national team, but a fortnight later the French star is fully recovered.
For Roma, slated to host Real Madrid at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday, October 14, there is notable news.
According to Diario AS, Mbappé has been training regularly with the squad for several days, and Mourinho has elected to start him against Villarreal.
There will be no precautionary rest ahead of the Champions League; Mourinho aims to reintegrate his striker immediately and evaluate his condition during the match.
The upcoming Villarreal fixture will serve as a crucial test for the Frenchman, offering him an opportunity to regain his rhythm and secure match minutes before the journey to the capital. Mourinho prefers not to delay his resurgence, aiming to have the striker in peak condition for the encounter at the Olimpico.
