Will Kylian Mbappe Play in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup Final?

Kylian Mbappé has not played for Real Madrid since suffering a thigh injury on Dec. 10.

Kylian Mbappé’s status ahead of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final remains the biggest question mark for Real Madrid.

The defending Spanish and European champions made their way to Doha, Qatar to take on Liga MX’s C.F. Pachuca in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. Vinícius Júnior and Eduardo Camavinga returned from injury over the last week, giving Real Madrid a major boost heading into their final stretch of matches to close out 2024.

Los Blancos’ injury woes are far from over, though. Mbappé suffered a thigh injury against Atalanta in the Champions League on Dec. 10 and has not featured since. Although the injury was not deemed serious, Mbappé was expected to miss 10 days of action, making him unavailable against Rayo Vallecano and C.F. Pachuca.

Except the Frenchman made Ancelotti’s squad for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. Could he make his return ahead of schedule?
