Real: Mbappé, the positive surprise of the day

Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappé, the excellent news!

Kylian Mbappé's quick getaway to Dubai sparked plenty of rumors and speculation, but at Real Madrid, no one seemed to be fazed. According to information reported by L’Équipe, the striker did not take part in group training and didn't even make the trip to Valdebebas to have his right ankle—sore for several weeks—checked out. This was a deliberate decision by the club, which granted him an extra day of rest before he’s scheduled to rejoin the rest of the internationals tomorrow. The Madrid game plan is straightforward: two full training sessions on Friday and Saturday to ensure Mbappé is ready to start on Sunday against Elche.

There’s zero concern on Real’s side. The medical staff knows exactly how to manage this chronic discomfort: targeted rest, no miracle treatments, and constant monitoring. The situation is considered completely under control. Philippe Diallo, president of the French Football Federation (FFF), also stepped in to clarify matters. He confirmed that Mbappé is indeed dealing with real inflammation, and his absence in Azerbaijan was simply a precautionary measure. Diallo also condemned personal attacks on the player’s private life, describing “a form of harassment” surrounding each of his movements.
