Kylian Mbappe’s camp disagrees with Real Madrid over injury recovery process

Kylian Mbappe’s team is pushing back hard against Real Madrid’s optimistic view on his knee injury recovery.

The club sees it as minor discomfort, expecting the star striker back in just three weeks. But those close to Mbappe insist it’s far more serious, potentially a major issue that needs careful handling.

He’s already jetted off to Paris for specialized treatment, staying put until he’s truly ready to return. This comes amid growing worries, especially with only about 100 days until the World Cup kicks off. His inner circle fears rushing back could sideline him for France’s big tournament altogether.

Real Madrid’s medical staff diagnosed a left knee sprain after tests with French specialists, sticking to conservative treatment without surgery plans for now.

Mbappe’s persistent pain since late last year has already forced multiple breaks, fueling frustration over how it’s been managed. Everyone hopes for a full recovery soon, but tensions highlight the high stakes for both club and country.
