Mbappé set to be ready to face Villarreal -report

Kylian Mbappé will almost surely be available for Real Madrid's match against Villarreal this Saturday, according to a report from MARCA. Real Madrid has maintained a cautious approach regarding his recovery from a knee injury suffered during the international break.

While Mbappé is expected to be available, he may not start against Villarreal, as manager José Mourinho could opt to preserve him for an upcoming European fixture against Roma. The club's primary goal has been ensuring the French forward is fully prepared for El Clásico later this month following his hyperextended knee diagnosis.
