Mbappé returns to Real Madrid training and nears Villarreal clash

Real Madrid have received a boost ahead of their next match, with Kylian Mbappé returning to group training on Wednesday. He participated normally in the training session held at Valdebebas, enhancing his chances of appearing against Villarreal.

Kylian Mbappé has sparked controversy after quickly traveling to the French capital, Paris, yesterday, Tuesday, to participate in a solidarity event, raising questions about his ability to return on time and participate in the team's training.

The French forward has quickly put these questions to rest, appearing for the first time this week in Real Madrid's group training and participating without issues, a positive sign of his recovery from the knee pain he had been suffering from.

If there are no updates, José Mourinho is expected to rely on Kylian Mbappé against Villarreal, with the possibility of including him in the starting lineup, depending on his fitness over the coming days.

Real Madrid welcomed back most of their international players after the conclusion of their commitments with their national teams, except for Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Meanwhile, Dean Houson, Arda Güler, and Yan Diomande participated normally with the rest of the group.

On the sidelines of the training session, Real Madrid welcomed a group of beneficiaries from the club's social and sports schools in Cambodia, where they had the opportunity to visit the training headquarters and meet the first-team players before the training began.

The official website of Real Madrid explained that the institution has been carrying out a number of social and sports projects in the Battambang area for years, in collaboration with the 'Saus' organization and the apostolic delegation in Battambang.
