France international of Cameroonian descent Kylian Mbappe has swiftly recovered from injury and is expected to feature against Real Sociedad in the Spanish La Liga this weekend.
In highly competitive clash on Saturday, Real Madrid will lock horns with Sociedad at the Bernabéu, with victory crucial to their La Liga title chase.
The 27-year-old forward suffered significant discomfort in his left knee following Madrid’s recent clash with Valencia. As a precaution, Mbappé was sidelined for a week, missing training sessions to ensure full recovery ahead of the crucial fixtures against Real Sociedad and Benfica.
While Mbappé is understood to still feel minor discomfort, Real Madrid’s medical staff have reportedly placed him on a tailored recovery program designed to accelerate his return while minimizing risk. The plan has allowed the French star to rejoin group training sooner than initially expected.
But it is unclear whether coach Álvaro Arbeloa will take the risk of starting Mbappé against Real Sociedad. However, the forward is expected to be fully fit for Madrid’s upcoming UEFA Champions League showdown with Benfica.
Mbappé has enjoyed a sensational season so far, making 31 appearances for Los Blancos across all competitions, scoring an impressive 38 goals and registering five assists, underlining his importance to Madrid’s ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
