Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti made an unexpected decision regarding Kylian Mbappé before the trip to Lille this Wednesday.

Carlo Ancelotti summons Kylian Mbappé
Three days after drawing against Atlético Madrid (1-1), Real Madrid travels to the North of France to face Lille in the Champions League. Absent during the Madrid derby, Kylian Mbappé was announced forfeit for this meeting as well. Indeed, the club had announced the French international's injury five days earlier.
“After the medical examinations carried out on Kylian Mbappé, he was diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg. Its development remains to be monitored,” Real Madrid said in a press release published last Wednesday. The Bondynois was to be sidelined for around three weeks, with a return planned after the international break.
Mbappé back against Lille?
However, the situation seems to have evolved favorably for the former Paris Saint-Germain player. Against all expectations, Kylian Mbappé is part of the list of players called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the trip to Lille. He could even take part in the meeting, beyond simply accompanying his teammates and meeting up with his brother Ethan, who plays for the Mastiffs.
