Real Madrid’s Star Player Ready to Shine Again
After a brief hiatus, Kylian Mbappé is set to return to the pitch this weekend, and his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, couldn’t be more thrilled. The talented forward has been working tirelessly to recover from a thigh injury, and Ancelotti believes he’s now “close to 100%.”
A Well-Deserved Break
During the international break, Mbappé opted to skip France’s games and focus on his rehabilitation. He even took some time off to visit Stockholm, sparking unfounded rumors about a police investigation. His representatives quickly squashed the speculation, labeling it a “slanderous rumor.”
Ancelotti Stands by His Player
When questioned about the rumors, Ancelotti refused to engage, saying, “I’m not here to talk about speculation. I’m here to talk about the work he’s done.” The coach emphasized that Mbappé’s break was programmed, and he chose to spend his free time as he pleased.
Fitness Levels Soaring
Mbappé’s hard work seems to be paying off. Ancelotti praised the player’s dedication, stating, “He’s made the most of this break to improve his condition. It has improved a lot… He’s a different player to the one he was before the break.” The coach even joked about not running a travel agency, implying that players are free to choose their own destinations during downtime.
Vinícius Júnior Also Ready to Return
Brazilian forward Vinícius Júnior, who missed the international break due to injury, is expected to feature alongside Mbappé against Celta Vigo. Ancelotti revealed that Vinícius has been working intensively and taking rest days, saying, “I think both [Vinícius and Mbappé] are fine.”
No Rush for Signings
Despite Dani Carvajal’s serious knee injury, Ancelotti denied requesting reinforcements in the January transfer window. He expressed confidence in the team’s ability to cope with injuries, just as they did last season. However, he didn’t rule out the possibility of signing an ideal player for Real Madrid, should one become available.
With Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior ready to take the field, Real Madrid fans can expect an exciting match against Celta Vigo this weekend. Will the team’s star players lead them to victory? Only time will tell.
