Kylian Mbappe recently picked up a minor injury scare during Real Madrid’s match against Alaves, but he is determined to feature in the upcoming Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid at all costs, reports MARCA.

The injury occurred in the 80th minute when Mbappe requested to be substituted after feeling some discomfort in his muscle. Although it raised concerns, Carlo Ancelotti has assured that the injury isn’t serious.

Now, according to recent reports, Mbappe is already receiving treatment at the club and he is expected to be in the starting line-up for the derby, barring any unexpected setbacks. A medical test is scheduled today to confirm there are no major issues.

While the French forward has not been part of the rotation system, the priority has been to build his confidence and get him back to his best. Although it took a little time for him to find his rhythm, Mbappe has made steady progress.

Despite his progress, Mbappe is still working on building perfect chemistry with the other attackers. Nonetheless, he is eager to push through any discomfort to make sure he plays in the crucial derby.

After experiencing minor muscle discomfort, he immediately asked Ancelotti to take him off to avoid aggravating the issue. However, Mbappe left the stadium with some concern, knowing that even a minor injury could rule him out of the derby.

Yet, his commitment to playing in this important match remains firm, and he is willing to take the risk if there is any chance he can feature in the game.

For now, the main focus is on ensuring Mbappe’s full recovery, so he can take the field against Atletico Madrid without further complications.
