Mbappe A Doubt But Real Madrid Clear Favourites For Intercontinental Cup Final
Kylian Mbappe: Spanish giant Real Madrid arrived in Doha just after midnight local time on Tuesday to prepare for Wednesday's Intercontinental Cup final. Carlo Ancelotti's men will kick off as clear favourites in the Lusail Stadium against Mexican side Pachuca, who had to battle through a quarterfinal against Brazil's Botafogo, before beating Al Ahly of Egypt 6-5 on penalties in Saturday's semifinal after 120 minutes ended goalless.
The big question mark for Real Madrid is if star striker Kylian Mbappe will play on Wednesday night or not. The French forward suffered a hamstring injury a week ago against Atalanta in the Champions League and missed the 3-3 draw away to Rayo Vallecano at the weekend.
The injury was a setback for Mbappe, who looked to be returning to form after struggling to adapt in his first few months at Real Madrid. He had scored Madrid's opener and was looking dangerous before being forced off the pitch. Despite doubts about Mbappe, he has nevertheless netted 12 goals in all competitions since arriving, reports Xinhua.
