Mbappe Ready to Lead Real Madrid in Intercontinental Cup Final

Kylian Mbappe has assured Real Madrid's medical team of his full recovery and is ready to participate in the Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca. The French forward missed the match against Rayo Vallecano due to discomfort but is now cleared for action.

Mbappe sustained a minor muscle injury in Real Madrid's match against Atalanta. Despite early concerns, scans showed no serious damage, and the possibility of him playing in the final was never ruled out.

During discussions with the club's medical staff this morning, Mbappe confirmed that he feels no pain and will attend the final training session at Lusail Stadium this evening. His participation will depend on a successful training session.

If no issues arise, Mbappe will start in the main lineup. Otherwise, Real Madrid will not take risks, and he will begin the match from the bench. However, all indications suggest that Mbappe will play from the start in this crucial encounter.
