Kylian Mbapp\u00e9’s left knee is once again an issue for Real Madrid. According to L’Equipe, the French striker stopped training on Tuesday and his availability for the Champions League play-off second leg against Benfica, following the 1-0 first leg, is uncertain. Clubs are beginning to accept that the issue has not been resolved and that continuing to press the issue may come at a higher cost.<\/p>\n
In the pre-match press conference, Alvaro Arbeloa defended his star player as being ready. He spoke of the dedication, intelligence and numbers that underpin his influence. Speech protects athletes and also protects technology management. Because the very fact of highlighting the Frenchman’s effort confirms that he will go into the match in a certain degree of condition due to the pain he has been suffering from since December, and that each match involves risky decisions.<\/p>\n
The injury occurred after a blow against Celta on December 7, and an MRI scan carried out before the end of the year revealed damage to the lateral lateral ligament, requiring him to be sidelined for at least three weeks. He returned 11 days later, but in the midst of competitive pressure and with the final against Barcelona looming. After that, they were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Albacete, making it a schedule that did not allow for any rest. Mbappe only rested for the match against Real Sociedad.<\/p>\n
This discussion is no longer medical, but strategic. If he stops now, he will be able to make his presence felt at a crucial time in the season and protect his big summer goal: the 2026 World Cup. Valdebebas has suggested that his side should rest for at least 10 days, regardless of whether they play against Benfica. Visits to Getafe and Vigo seem like acceptable sacrifices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
