MADRID — Real Madrid named Kylian Mbappe in their squad to face Lille in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday after he missed one match with a thigh injury.
The French forward was expected to be out until after the upcoming international break but appears to have made a quick recovery, AFP reported.
Mbappe sustained the problem last Tuesday in the La Liga win over Alaves and was unavailable for 1-1 derby draw at Atletico Madrid.
Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti selected Mbappe in his squad for the trip to France to face Ligue 1 side Lille, who will be without the striker’s injured brother Ethan.
Los Blancos goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was not included in the squad after suffering a hip muscle injury against Atletico.
