The Real Madrid superstar trained on his own on Monday, causing concern back home, as he had been substituted in the final 20 minutes of the quarterfinal due to an ankle injury. However, Mbappé decided to train on his own as a precaution and to avoid putting further strain on his ankle.
According to French media, the 27-year-old star will not only play but will also be in the starting lineup, with Olise and Dembélé supporting him, and a spot up for grabs between Doué and Barkola, with the former the favorite.
