The head coach of Madrid's "Real" team, Xabi Alonso, responded to a question about striker Kylian Mbappe. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Mbappe missed all the group stage matches of the World Cup due to illness. In the Round of 16 match against "Juventus" (winning 1:0), he came on as a substitute in the second half.
Alonso said at the press conference: "Kylian's condition is improving, he is continuing to recover. Will he participate in the game against 'Borussia'?
We will make a decision about this in the morning, whether he will play in the starting lineup or not will be determined." Today's game will start at 23:00 Moscow time. The winner will play against "Bayern" or "PSG" in the semifinals.
They will take the field a little earlier. This match is of great importance as the paths to the final will be determined.
The clash between "Real" and "Borussia" is eagerly awaited by fans. Xabi Alonso expressed hope for his team's chances.
Kylian Mbappe's return to the field is expected to further strengthen the team.
