When will Kylian Mbappe make his Real Madrid debut? Los Blancos' new Galactico sets optimistic target as he gives update on broken nose after Euro 2024 exploits with France

Following Mbappe's move from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid, the 25-year-old was asked about when he could make his Blancos debut and the latest on the broken nose he suffered in Euro 2024 with France. The ex-Monaco man is targeting next month's clash with Europa League winners Atalanta to make his Madrid bow, while outlining what the medical staff have said about his injury.

When asked if he would play in the club's pre-season tour in America, he replied: "We'll see with the coach and the club. If the club says yes, I'll go. I'm at the club's disposal. I hope I'll play the Super Cup match, it's up to the coach to decide. I'm going to get to work to play the first match."

On his nose injury, the forward added: "I am in contact with the medical staff, I am listening to what is recommended to me and I will resume playing when possible. I want to be able to contribute as much as possible to the team as soon as possible."

The eyes of the watching world will be eagerly awaiting the first time Mbappe plays for Madrid following his high-profile move from PSG. The Super Cup match, a contest between the respective Champions League and Europa League winners, could be the ideal place for that, but the main thing is for the 2018 World Cup winner to be fit and ready for the new season.

Madrid begin their pre-season campaign on July 31 in America against AC Milan, before taking on fierce rivals Barcelona and Chelsea on August 3 and August 7 respectively. The Super Cup final takes place a week later in Warsaw, Poland.
