Rome, 25 February (LaPresse) – Kylian Mbappé will not play against Benfica. The French Real Madrid striker’s left knee will prevent him from taking to the pitch. The joint has been troubling him for almost three months (since 7 December, against Celta Vigo) and the player will rest not only in this Champions League match but also next Monday against Getafe. He will return against Celta Vigo. The squad list is completed by five players from the youth academy: Fran Gonzalez, Thiago, Manuel Angel, Cestero and Palacios.
