Mbappé's Recovery Race for Intercontinental Glory

Kylian Mbappé will miss one Spanish league game due to a leg injury, but Real Madrid's coach hopes he recovers for the Intercontinental Cup final. Mbappé's left-thigh injury rules him out of the La Liga match at Rayo Vallecano, but he will travel to Qatar for the final.

Kylian Mbappé will miss a crucial La Liga match this Saturday due to a left-thigh injury, Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed.

The star forward picked up the injury during Madrid's mid-week triumph over Atalanta in the Champions League.

However, Ancelotti remains optimistic about his return for next week's highly anticipated Intercontinental Cup final in Qatar.
