Star forward Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 is set to make his debut in the Club World Cup when Real Madrid squares off against Juventus in the Round of 16 on Tuesday, according to coach Xabi Alonso. "I\u2019m not sure of all the details, but there\u2019s a strong chance he will be available at Hard Rock Stadium," Alonso remarked regarding Mbapp\u00e9’s potential return.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9 was sidelined due to a gastrointestinal illness prior to Real Madrid’s first match in the tournament and had to receive hospital treatment. As a result, he missed all three group stage games, where Madrid recorded two wins and one draw.<\/p>\n
His comeback is highly anticipated, especially following the exit of Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in the first knockout round against Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s former team, Paris Saint-Germain. Alonso also confirmed that captain Dani Carvajal and defender \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o will start on Tuesday, alongside new signings Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huygen, who have become essential to the team’s defense.<\/p>\n
Carvajal has been out of action since undergoing ACL surgery last fall but expressed satisfaction about being back: "I’m very happy to contribute from the bench as my manager sees fit," he stated during Monday’s training at Real Madrid’s facility in Palm Beach Gardens.<\/p>\n
