Real Madrid: updates emerge on Kylian Mbappé

At Real Madrid, the latest news surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s fitness is far from reassuring. The French star is expected to miss three weeks of action due to discomfort in his knee, casting serious doubt on his availability for the high-stakes clash against Manchester City.

During Sunday’s press conference, Alvaro Arbeloa was cautious about making any definitive statements on the matter.

"Will Mbappé play against City at the Bernabeu? We’ll take it day by day. He needs to see how he feels. For now, it’s best not to set a timeline and to listen to him. We’ll decide later. We want him to be back at full strength and, once he’s there, he’ll return. We know exactly what the issue is with Mbappé, and we have a clear plan to solve it. The goal is to give him the time he needs to recover properly and reach peak fitness before coming back." he explained.
