Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has stated the club will make a late decision on whether Kylian Mbappe will feature in the Champions League trip to France to face Lille.
The Frenchman, who picked up a muscle problem in the 3-2 win against Deportivo Alaves last week, has recovered from the issue.
The 25-year-old missed the draw at bitter rivals Atletico Madrid last week Sunday.
“Mbappe has recovered very well, very quickly,” Ancelotti informed reporters.
“He trained yesterday and today, he will do the full training session with us. Then we’ll make the decision together because the last thing we want to do is take risks.
“Mbappe has had an overload and in less than a week he has recovered well.
“He wanted to travel to play. If he’s at full strength, he can play. If there is no risk, he will play from the first minute.”
Madrid are three points behind Barcelona as they sit second in LaLiga, after eight matches, however, Ancelotti said there was room for improvement, especially when they face Lille, who sit fifth in Ligue 1.
“We have to get points, taking into account the value of the opponent. They are a team that plays very well. They like to play with the ball, they have young players with quality.
“Every match has to be fought. That’s why we’re here. We are doing well. We are convinced we can improve. We are ready. There are a lot of games, but we are pretty good,” the Italian added.
