Real Madrid consider knee surgery for Kylian Mbappe

Real Madrid are carefully considering whether Kylian Mbappe should undergo surgery on his ongoing knee ligament problem, a decision that could shape both his season and international hopes.

The French star has already missed the club’s last two matches as the issue continues to trouble him.

Early assessments pointed to a recovery period of around three weeks with conservative treatment, offering optimism that he could return relatively quickly. Now, though, the option of surgery is firmly on the table, which would mean a much longer spell on the sidelines and a far more complex road back to full fitness.

This uncertainty arrives at a crucial time, with the upcoming World Cup looming large for Mbappe and France, where he is not only a key player but the captain and leader of the squad. Any operation could sideline him for several months, putting his participation in serious doubt.

Real Madrid’s medical team and leadership are still evaluating the risks and benefits, trying to balance short-term needs with Mbappe’s long-term health and the club’s future ambitions.
