Mbappé part of Real squad in Munich after head injury
Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe in action during the FIFA Club world soccer match between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid at the MetLife Stadium. Sven Hoppe/dpa Kylian Mbappé is part of Real Madrid's squad for their Champions League quarter-final return leg at Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The France striker suffered a head injury in Real's 1-1 LaLiga draw with Girona on Friday which required stitches to his eyebrow.
But he returned to training on Monday and was on Tuesday named in the 23-player squad for the trip to Germany. Mbappé scored the lone goal as Madrid lost the home leg 2-1 against Bayern last week. The record winners have won the last four knock-out ties against Bayern, winning three games in Munich and drawing the other.
Bayern have not beaten Real at home since the 2012 semi-finals when they went on to win on penalties in Spain. Coach Alvaro Arbeloa told a news conference: "We don't need a miracle here. We've had some good games.
Their goalkeeper was excellent in the first leg. But everyone who knows Real Madrid knows that we don't need a miracle. "Real is a club steeped in history.
We're ready to fight, to keep making history and produce a comeback. We're prepared for the atmosphere. We need to enjoy playing in a stadium like this.
