Kylian Mbappé Ready to Return to LaLiga Amidst Unfounded Rumors

Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, recently stated that the team’s forward, Kylian Mbappé, remains undeterred by the unfounded rumors swirling in the media. The player’s representatives have categorically rejected these allegations, referring to them as absolute fabrications. These allegations surfaced as Mbappé is set to make his return to LaLiga.

Mbappé’s Recovery and Training Amidst Media Speculation

During the recent international break, Mbappé was absent from France’s games as he was focused on recuperating from a thigh injury. Instead, he committed his time to rigorous training and also visited Stockholm during his time off. Subsequently, Swedish media linked his name with a police investigation. However, Mbappé’s representatives swiftly denounced these reports as defamatory.

Ancelotti’s Remarks on Mbappé’s Condition

In a news conference before Madrid’s match with Celta Vigo, Ancelotti praised Mbappé’s commitment to recovery. “He has made the most of this break to enhance his fitness,” Ancelotti stated. “He has shown significant improvement. He is not the same player he was before the break.”

The coach also clarified that he does not engage with speculative discussions, choosing instead to focus on the player’s progress. He further explained that Mbappé’s time off was scheduled, and the player chose to spend it as he wished.

A Reinforced Real Madrid Team

Mbappé re-joined the Madrid squad before the international break, appearing as a substitute in the Champions League match against Lille and later starting against Villarreal. Ancelotti expressed his pleasure at watching Mbappé train and confirmed that the forward is nearing full fitness.

Anticipation of Vinícius Júnior’s Return

An insider revealed that another forward for Madrid, Vinícius Júnior, who also missed the international break due to injury, is back in shape and expected to play against Celta. Ancelotti confirmed this, stating that the break had been beneficial for Vinícius, who had trained intensively and also rested.

Real Madrid’s Transfer Plans

Addressing speculations around Real Madrid’s transfer plans following Dani Carvajal’s severe knee injury, Ancelotti denied making any requests for new signings in the January transfer window. He was confident about the team’s ability to handle injuries, based on their performance in the previous season.

“Hunting for the perfect player for Real Madrid isn’t a straightforward task,” Ancelotti said, implying that while the team wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of a new addition, it would be a carefully considered decision.
