Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, has hinted at the timing of Kylian Mbappe’s debut for the club.
Mbappe was welcomed to the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium on July 16 after moving from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer.
Despite this, the captain of France has not participated in any of Madrid’s pre-season matches yet.
For instance, Mbappe was not included in the squad for the recent friendly match against Barcelona, where Real Madrid suffered a 2-1 loss.
It is possible that he will also be absent from the exhibition game against Chelsea in North Carolina on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, Ancelotti has now indicated that he foresees Mbappe making his debut for Los Blancos in the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta at the Kazimierz Gorski National Stadium on August 14.
According to Ancelotti, “Mbappe can definitely feature in the Super Cup from the beginning. Jude Bellingham and others can also play. They are well-prepared, following a plan and are all set to take part.”
