The possible presence of Kylian Mbappé on Wednesday on the lawn of the Decathlon Arena to face Lille in the Champions League sparked a strong reaction.
As expected, the reunion between the two Mbappé brothers will not take place on Wednesday evening, during the Champions League clash between Lille and Real Madrid. But if Ethan Mbappé, victim of a major thigh injury last weekend for his return to the field, will be absent, Kylian Mbappé could well be present on the pitch at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.
Injured in the thigh recently, the former Parisian was nevertheless expected to be absent. But an express convalescence allowed him to apply for the match, which provoked the indignation of Pierre Bouby. “I find it totally stupid and ridiculous. For several weeks we have not stopped dwelling on the fact that the players are playing too much and Kylian Mbappé, with an injury which should have cost him between three and weeks of absence according to the first examinations, potentially finds himself in the group for a match, ten days later”, the former player was offended on the set of the Chaîne L’Equipe.
Kylian Mbappé could even start the meeting!
“On the rectus femoris, which I know well because I ended my career on it, I can tell you that there is a potential for relapse, if there is an injury, very, very probable. So I absolutely don’t understand the point of bringing him, what’s more against Lille and what’s more in a secondary championship where it is not necessary to finish first in a group.” he continued, adding: “I am willing to bet that Carlo Ancelotti has no use for a diminished Kylian Mbappé on his bench and who will be of no use. I find that lunar and that perhaps says a little more about the demands of Kylian Mbappé. »
Present at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti maintained the vagueness concerning the Frenchman. “He recovered very quickly, he only trained individually yesterday, he didn’t lose his physical condition. We will make the right decision after the last training, but we don’t want to take any risks, he confided on the eve of the match, specifying: “He recovered and wanted to travel to play, he feels good. We have to see if he is in full possession of his means, 100%, and if he can play. »
