Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed he is not considering signing Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé, noting that Karim Benzema will return for the upcoming derby against Atlético Madrid on 18 September.

“This is a very important match and Leipzig are a dangerous team with fast players,” Ancelotti said ahead of the match against Leipzig in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

And about the possibility of including Mbappe, he replied: “We are very happy with the line of attack that we have and at the moment we are not thinking about any other player.”

And about Marco Asensio’s anger, he explained: “He is not a young man and not a veteran, he needs to be persistent, and his reaction after the anger was good, as he trained hard.”

And he noted: “The Leipzig attack is very dangerous, so we need to stand in the defensive line, and Vinicius has developed a lot, and most importantly, he is focused on the match.”

And he concluded: “Benzema is recovering well and he will be present in the match against Atlético Madrid.
