The axe has fallen.

Injured in the knee since December and out with Real Madrid for about ten days, Kylian Mbappé is currently in Paris with the Real Madrid medical staff to make "a precise assessment of the progress", AFP learned on Monday from the French striker's entourage, thus confirming the day's information.

"In agreement with the club, additional examinations are being conducted to make a precise assessment of the progress of his knee, the entourage of the French captain specified in a statement sent Monday to AFP. At this stage, surgery is not being considered."

Later in the evening, Real Madrid released a full medical report on the French striker's condition. 

"After examinations conducted on our player Kylian Mbappé by French specialist doctors, under the supervision of Real Madrid's medical services, the diagnosis of a sprain in the left knee is confirmed, as well as the relevance of the conservative treatment being administered. His condition will be reassessed soon.", the club's statement indicates.

Two crucial deadlines await Real Madrid in the coming days, with the Champions League round of 16 first and second legs against Manchester City (March 11-17). Kylian Mbappé is uncertain.

The French team, on the other hand, is set to face Brazil in a friendly (March 26 in Boston) and Colombia (March 29 in Washington), two and a half months before the kickoff of the World Cup.
