Real Madrid injury update vs. Lille: Kylian Mbappe, Thibaut Courtois latest

Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid’s injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to France to face Lille in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Real Madrid make the trip to Northern France to face Lille at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Los Blancos were denied three points in the Madrid derby late on at the weekend, conceding a stoppage-time equaliser, and will look to return to winning ways here after victory on matchday one against Stuttgart.

Lille will come into the game confident after a comfortable 3-0 win over Le Havre on Saturday, and based on the fact they have won seven of their previous eight home games in Europe.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid’s injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Lille on matchday two.
