”Following the examination of Kylian Mbappé by specialist doctors in France under the supervision of Real Madrid’s medical services, it has been confirmed that he has a left knee sprain and that the ongoing conservative treatment is appropriate. “Evolution is on hold,” Real Madrid said in a statement regarding Kylian Mbappé’s injury, confirming that he is exclusive to MARCA.
“We’re going to take it one day at a time,” Arbeloa confessed in Real Madrid City’s press room on the eve of the league match. “It’s better not to set a deadline for now.” No deadline. When the Frenchman gets well… he will return to the pitch. The idea of forcing Mbappé to do anything is completely unacceptable. The problem started on December 7th against Celta (0-2) and he has not been able to play at 100% since then. “We want Mbappe to be 100% back and if that happens he will be back. We are very clear about what is wrong with him and what we want now, and that is for him to be 100% back,” Arbeloa said. It all depends on the player’s evolution and how they feel.
First medical report…and third break.
However, although the club constantly talked about discomfort, Mbappe’s situation has deteriorated to the point where his body has complained enough. As MARCA reported on Thursday morning, the situation sparked anger among Mbappé and his entourage, who ended up looking for a solution at home. Shortly after, the club confirmed that the striker had traveled to France to undergo further tests to accurately assess the evolution of his knee. The purpose of this measure is to optimize his follow-up and prepare his return in the best possible condition. A source close to the player confirmed to MARCA that surgical intervention is not being considered at this time. The athlete will continue to undergo conservative treatment until his knee is fully functional and there are no risks.
What is surprising is that the medical report is the first time the club has announced Mbappé’s fitness since last Wednesday, when the number 10 was forced to miss the game against Benfica due to worsening discomfort in his knee, forcing him to be suspended for the third time this season. A report confirms that the French doctors’ assessment follows the same principles as the assessment by Real Madrid’s medical staff.
