Kylian Mbappé’s absence from training in Valdebebas during his recovery sparked speculation around Real Madrid, especially after the forward was seen in Paris with his partner, Ester Expósito, and friends.

However, sources close to the club have indicated that the trip was authorized by the coaching staff and medical team, so there is, at least according to these reports, no conflict with the player.

Mbappé has permission to recover outside Madrid

According to information from AS, Mbappé’s trip to Paris was agreed upon with José Mourinho, his coaching staff, and Real Madrid’s doctors.

The club’s position is that the forward is in a phase of active rest and that, at this moment, his daily presence in Valdebebas would not represent any significant advantage for his recovery.

The terms “agreed upon” and “coordinated” are being used to describe the way the attacker’s recovery is being managed.

For that reason, Real Madrid does not believe that Mbappé’s presence in Paris contradicts the process established for his return.

A less serious injury than expected

Mbappé suffered the injury during France’s match against Turkey. After the initial medical assessments, the diagnosis was a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the left knee.

In the end, the injury turned out to be less serious than initially feared.

The estimated recovery period is between one and two weeks, although Real Madrid intends to handle the timeline cautiously to avoid any relapse.

El Clásico, the main target

The main objective for Los Blancos is for Mbappé to be fully recovered for the Clásico against Barcelona on October 25.

Therefore, the priority these days is not to rush his return to training or take unnecessary risks.

While he continues his recovery, the forward will be free to remain in Paris as long as he stays within the plan established by the medical staff and coaching team.

Real Madrid’s intention is clear: not to push Mbappé now so that he will be available when one of the most important matches of the season arrives.
