Mbappe missed all three group matches at the tournament with a stomach bug but returned as a substitute when Madrid edged Juventus I-O to reach the last eight
-
Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said superstar striker Kylian Mbappe is “better” ahead of the Club World Cup quarterfinal clash against Borussia Dortmund on Sunday, but would not confirm if the Frenchman will start.
Youngster Gonzalo Garcia has led the line for Madrid in all four games and scored three goals in the United States.
“He's better, he’s been recovering, tomorrow morning we will decide (if he starts),” Alonso told reporters Friday, before saying it might not mean 21-year-old Gonzalo had to drop out of the team.
“They can (play together), depending on the moment and the needs, they are complementary, if the context asks for it and I haven't ruled it out by any means,” continued Alonso.
The Spaniard said he wanted the players “to know first” before revealing what his plans were for the match at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
