AS: Mbappe’s ankle inflammation has completely subsided and he will start against Elche

According to "AS", unlike the injury to Militao in the defense, the international match day did not cause any injuries to Real Madrid's forwards. The best example is Mbappe. He missed France's first game during the international break with mild ankle inflammation, which has now completely subsided.

Mbappe looked in perfect shape yesterday after Xabi Alonso allowed him a day off. In the photos released by the club, he can even be seen making some difficult shooting moves. Mbappe returned to Madrid due to ankle discomfort after the game against Ukraine. He performed well in that game, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist.

Now, Mbappe’s injury has recovered. In the game against Elche, Mbappe will form Real Madrid's offensive trident with Vinicius and Bellingham. Vinny did not have to endure the discomfort of a long transatlantic journey, playing the full match in Brazil's two matches against Senegal (2-0 win in London) and Tunisia (1-1 in Lille).

Ancelotti has full confidence in Vinicius, and the player has also received stable playing time. In addition, in Real Madrid's games against Rayo Vallecano and Liverpool, Vinicius also played the entire game. Prior to that, he had been substituted in three consecutive games and did not feature in one game (against Getafe).

Vinicius's recent situation at the club is completely different from that of his teammate Rodrigo in Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team. During Xavi Alonso's coaching tenure, Rodrygo only played 25% of the total minutes... while Ancelotti gave him 90% of the national team's playing time. Vinicius and Rodrigo's situation is like a parallel world.

Although Tuchel once again made surprising criticism of Bellingham, it did not seem to have a negative impact on him. In England's match against Albania, Bellingham performed well, helping the team win 2-0 and was named the best player of the match. This has provided the impetus for his return to the league and he has scored in two of the last three games, including the El Clasico at the Bernabeu.

As for other injured players, everyone continues to recover as planned and is expected to be in time for tomorrow's game. Courtois, Huizen, Valverde and Camavinga are close to recovering from their injuries, and all four can play against Elche. The only question now is whether Joan Armene can return in time.
