Real Madrid's new signing Kylian Mbappe has been included in the starting lineup for their Super Cup clash.

The French international was signed on a free transfer after seeing out his contact at Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old, who has a record 256 goals in 308 games for PSG, has agreed to a five-year contract at the Bernabeu that would pay him €15 million (£12.8 million) a year after taxes.

The forward is set to play his first competitive game for the Laliga champions when they face Atalanta.

Fellow French international Eduardo Camavinga has been ruled out of the game after sustaining a horrific injury during a training session.

The Madrid star will miss up to seven weeks of football after he sprained his left knee ligament.

Real Madrid would make history if they won the UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Champions League, La Liga, Copa del Rey, Supercopa, Fifa Club World Cup, and Fifa International Cup in one season.
