Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has indicated when Kylian Mbappe might make his debut for the club.

Although Mbappe was officially introduced to fans at the Bernabeu on July 16 following his transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, he has not yet featured in Real Madrid’s pre-season matches.

Mbappe was absent from the squad for Real Madrid’s 2-1 loss to Barcelona in an El Clasico friendly and may also miss the upcoming exhibition against Chelsea in North Carolina.

However, Ancelotti expects Mbappe to make his first appearance for Los Blancos in the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta on August 14.

Mbappe could definitely start in the Super Cup,” Ancelotti told Mundo Deportivo. “Jude Bellingham and others are also ready, having followed the preparation plan and will be included in the match.”

Former captain of the Super Eagles team, Sunday Oliseh, shared how he thinks Victor Osimhen is the reason Nigeria didn’t get to play in the finals and win the AFCON.

He stated that the viral feud between Lookman and Osimhen is what broke the team’s unity and spirit.

“We are confusing talent with permission. Victor Osimhen is world class, but talent doesn’t give you the right to break team chemistry.
