Real Madrid’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, recently shared an encouraging development regarding Kylian Mbappe’s physical condition as the team gears up to face Celta Vigo in their upcoming La Liga encounter scheduled for Saturday, October 19.
Ancelotti, a seasoned tactician, emphasized that the talented French forward is not only in optimal shape but also brimming with enthusiasm to make a significant impact on the field during this crucial game, as corroborated by insights from respected journalist Mario Cortegana of The Athletic.
Mbappe is expected to line up as the centre-forward
Mbappe is an essential player for Real Madrid. He is anticipated to start at center forward for them at the Estadio Abanca-Balaidos when they play Vigo away. They will attempt to win this crucial game in order to climb the La Liga standings.
During the international break, Mbappe stayed out of the game for France and took the opportunity to heal from a thigh injury he had suffered in September.
There was a lot of conjecture on his apparent suitability to represent France in football. Thus, the lack of attendance by him dismayed fans of the national team.
Madrid will be happy to have him back and will be hoping that he resumes his goal-scoring habit.
He has scored five goals and provided an assist in the eight La Liga games that he has already played. His upfront inentiveness alongside Vinicius Junior has received a lot of attention.
Real Madrid are ranked in the second position in the La Liga
Real Madrid now has 21 points, which puts them in second place in the La Liga standings. With 24 points, their bitter rivals Barcelona are currently atop the standings. Madrid is eager to retain their championship by knocking Barcelona out of first place in the standings.
It is the manager Carlo Ancelotti’s goal that his key players—like Mbappe—retain their level of fitness over this demanding season. Los Blancos could repeat their season-long success if these players stay healthy for the majority of it.
The 25-year-old Mbappe, who joined Madrid during the summer transfer window earlier this year, is still regarded as one of the world’s top players.
He came to the Santiago Bernabeu primarily with the intention of winning the UEFA Champions League, something he was unable to accomplish at Paris Saint-Germain.
