Real Madrid will make a late call on whether Frenchman Kylian Mbappe is ready to return to the side for their Champions League clash at Lille after the forward recovered from a muscle injury, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Tuesday.The 25-year-old France captain, who joined the Spanish side from Ligue 1 champions Paris St Germain on a free transfer in June, picked up the problem during Madrid's 3-2 home win over Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga last week.He has since missed one game — a 1-1 LaLiga draw at Madrid's bitter rivals Atletico Madrid on Sunday."Mbappe has recovered very well, very quickly," Ancelotti told reporters ahead of Wednesday's game at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy."He trained yesterday, and today, he will do the full training session with us.

Then we'll make the decision together because the last thing we want to do is take risks."Mbappe has had an overload... and in less than a week he has recovered well."He wanted to travel to play.

We'll see what training he does today. If he's at full strength, he can play. If there is no risk, he will play from the first minute."Madrid are second in LaLiga, three points behind rivals Barcelona after eight matches.

But Ancelotti said there was room for improvement, especially when they face Lille, who sit fifth in Ligue 1."We have to get points, taking into account the value of the opponent.
