Real Madrid faces a complicated situation after it was confirmed that Kylian MbappĂ© will not be included in the squad for this weekend’s match against Levante, as reported by L'Equipe. The news has caused concern within the Madrid camp, as the French forward will not only miss the LaLiga fixture, but his participation in the upcoming Champions League clash against Monaco is also seriously in doubt.

A Forced Return

According to sources close to the club, the reason for this setback lies in the extreme effort made by the player in the recent clĂĄsico against Barcelona. MbappĂ© is said to have pushed his body and played while injured in a desperate attempt to save Xabi Alonso’s position as Real Madrid manager. However, following the definitive departure of the Basque coach, the striker has chosen to prioritize his health and halt all competitive activity until he is fully recovered.

Focus on Full Recovery

The Real Madrid medical staff has designed a specific work plan to prevent the Frenchman’s muscle discomfort from turning into a chronic injury. With Alonso’s exit and the arrival of a new coaching cycle, Mbappé’s goal is to return to the pitch only when there is no risk of a relapse, leaving the team without their star player for the immediate fixtures.
