Carlo Ancelotti provides update on Kylian Mbappe’s fitness

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has provided a massive update on superstar Kylian Mbappe’s fitness. Real Madrid are scheduled to face Celta Vigo in their next clash at the La Liga on October 19 (Saturday). Ancelotti has stated that the France footballer is fit and raring to take the field for the club in this encounter according to Mario Cortegana of The Athletic.

This is an away game for Real Madrid and as the center-forward, Mbappe will play a massive role for the team at the Estadio Abanca-Balaidos. Real Madrid are on a 41-match unbeaten streak at the moment and will be keen on continuing this run. The 36-time La Liga champions are currently in the second position in the table with 21 points having won six and drawn three matches so far this season.

He used this time to recover from a thigh injury that he sustained in September. Even though he missed the matches for his country, a lot of speculation was made about his fitness.

However, Carlo Ancelotti has now confirmed that he will be turning up for Real Madrid on Saturday against Celta Vigo. The football club will be hoping for arguably their best player in the line-up to get back to his best in this clash.
