Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe is ruled out for one La Liga game with a leg injury, but coach Carlo Ancelotti hopes his striker will recover in time to play the Intercontinental Cup final next week.
Ancelotti said Friday that the left-thigh injury that Mbappe sustained this week will rule him out of Saturday’s La Liga match at Rayo Vallecano.

However, the Italian coach said that Mbappe will travel with his teammates to Qatar for the Intercontinental Cup final on December 18, where Madrid will face either Pachuca or Al Ahly.
“We will see if he can play without taking any (injury) risks,” Ancelotti told reporters.
“He will travel because we think he can recover from the injury.”
Mbappé hurt his leg and was substituted after scoring in Madrid’s 3-2 win at Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday.
