Kylian Mbappé’s situation continues to worry Real Madrid. Sidelined for several months with a knee injury, the French forward could now face another three to four weeks out to deal with persistent pain that prevents him from playing at full capacity.
In recent weeks, reports have suggested growing frustration around the player regarding the club’s medical management, prompting Mbappé, with Real Madrid’s approval, to consult several specialists in France in search of clearer answers.
According to El Desmarque, the possibility of surgery is now being discussed internally as a way to protect the long-term future of the French international. While the operation would be considered minor, it would inevitably extend his absence by several weeks, a scenario Mbappé is keen to avoid with the 2026 World Cup in mind.
Some within the club also point to questionable early decisions, with an initial diagnosis that allegedly led him to play through an unresolved injury. Real Madrid must now decide whether to opt for caution or persistence as the uncertainty continues.
