Kylian Mbappé Set for Electrifying Club World Cup Debut Against Juventus

Kylian Mbappé is likely to make his Club World Cup debut for Real Madrid against Juventus, as stated by coach Xabi Alonso. This development comes after Mbappé's recovery from a recent gastrointestinal illness that sidelined him during the group stage.

The presence of Mbappé is poised to inject star power into the tournament, especially after the exit of Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in the knockout round. Real Madrid enters this critical match after a group stage performance of two wins and a draw.

In addition to Mbappé's anticipated return, Real Madrid is set to see captain Dani Carvajal back in action. Carvajal, who had been recuperating from ACL surgery, along with fellow defender Éder Militão, aim to bolster the team's defense, which has been reliant on new recruits like Trent Alexander-Arnold.
