Real Madrid have included Kylian Mbappe in their 24-man squad for Wednesday night's FIFA Intercontinental Cup final against Pachuca of Mexico.

The Frenchman was forced off during the first half of the Champions League win over Atalanta BC last week due to a thigh strain, before missing Saturday's 3-3 draw at Rayo Vallecano.

However, making the plane for the trip to the Middle East, Mbappe is set to join the likes of Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr in attack once again.

Due to the absence of Dani Carvajal (knee), David Alaba (knee) and Eder Militao (knee), Antonio Rudiger could be partnered by Aurelien Tchouameni at centre-back in Qatar.

Amid Lucas Vazquez's struggles to hold down the fort at right-back, it has been reported that Raul Asencio could feature in that position, although we feel that the 21-year-old will start on the bench for a fourth straight match.

Starting the draw in Vallecano on the weekend, club captain Luka Modric is set to be demoted to the bench at the expense of the returning Eduardo Camavinga.

Carlo Ancelotti has included a number of youngsters in his travelling party for the final at Lusail Stadium, with the likes of Fran Gonzalez and Youssef Enriquez hoping to earn first-team minutes.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Garcia; Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr
