Real Madrid ready to face Juventus with Mbappe’s return in Club World Cup

Real Madrid ready to face Juventus with Mbappe’s return in Club World Cup

According to Bolasport.com, Kylian Mbappe is confirmed ready to represent Real Madrid against Juventus in the Round of 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup — a match scheduled at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami on Wednesday (2/7) early morning WIB.

The French national team striker and 2018 World Cup winner previously missed three group stage matches due to acute gastroenteritis — but has now fully recovered and joined team training sessions.

Coach Xabi Alonso decided not to field Mbappe in the final group stage match against RB Salzburg to avoid risks — despite the player being able to train with the team.

Real Madrid, who emerged as Group H winners, will meet Juventus who finished as Group G runners-up — in a match predicted to be more straightforward for El Real with Mbappe’s presence in their squad.
