Although Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national team, did not call up his star player, Kylian Mbappe, the Real Madrid player, to the “Roosters” roster, which plays two matches against Israel and Belgium in the European Nations League, on October 10 and 14, respectively, the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, included “Bondi’s spoiled boy” is on the team roster, which plays today against Villarreal in the ninth round of the Spanish League.
What a strange paradox that surprised the Monte Carlo Sport Radio and Television Network, because Spanish press sources announced that Mbappe was not ready and needed a longer rest, and this became clear during the period he played in the Lille match in the Champions League, in which he was not Absolutely convincing.
Mbappe was injured in his left leg during the Deportivo Alaves match in La Liga on September 24, and it was said at the time that the injury would require at least 3 weeks, but the world champion crowned at the 2018 World Cup in Russia did not respect this period, and thus he joined the Real Madrid squad in the match.

However, Ancelotti made it clear that his French striker is able to play and trained with the rest of his teammates on Friday, and the newspapers “Marca” and “AS” even announced that Mbappe would be a starter against Villarreal.
During his press conference in which he announced the “Roosters” list for the two “International Agenda” matches, Deschamps explained the reasons for not calling up Mbappe, stressing that he did not want to risk sending him without being fully prepared.
He said that Mbappe suffers from a muscle problem that is not serious, but he needs more care until he returns to his 100% “form,” and commented, saying: I am not here to risk the player’s safety, and that is why I excluded him from the list.
When Ancelotti was asked about Deschamps not including Mbappé in the “Roosters” camp, he said: I do not interfere in the work of the technical directors of the national teams, noting that the club’s medical staff spoke with the officials of the French national team, and accordingly they made the decision to include him in the team’s roster against Villarreal.
Real Madrid fans hope that the team will be active again after the sudden defeat against Lille, before the important confrontations that it plays after the “International Agenda” matches, as it faces Borussia Dortmund of Germany on October 22 in the third round of the Champions League, and then faces Barcelona on October 26 in the “Clásico.” The ground”, and Mbappe must be in the “forma” in order to play these two matches.
