Kylian Mbappe could make a shock return to the Real Madrid starting line up in their UEFA Champions League clash at Lille on October 1. The France captain missed the weekend 1-1 La Liga derby draw with Atletico Madrid due to a hamstring issue and was expected to remain sidelined until after the October international break.

Last season Vinicius endured a sluggish start to the campaign but hit form in the second half of the season to help Madrid earn a record-extending 15th European Cup triumph.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will miss Real Madrid's match at Lille in the Champions League on Wednesday because of a muscle injury. Following tests on Monday, Courtois was diagnosed with an abductor injury in his left leg, Madrid said.
