Real Madrid is facing another major problem following Rodrygo’s serious injury, as he has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and the lateral meniscus in his right knee, pushing the club’s medical department to its limits.
Meanwhile, the situation surrounding Kylian Mbappé continues to be a topic of discussion: he has been sidelined for several weeks due to a problem in his left knee, and the exact nature of the injury was unclear until a few days ago.
On Monday, Real Madrid officially announced that it is a sprain in his left knee, for which he is receiving constant treatment under the supervision of the club’s doctors.
However, the length of his recovery has become a point of debate.
According to the Spanish outlet “Cadena SER,” the club is trying to bring the player back within three weeks, just in time for the second leg of the Champions League clash against Manchester City.
But Mbappé’s camp believes the injury is more serious and that rushing his return to the pitch could jeopardize his preparation for the World Cup, which begins in less than 100 days.
They claim that the posterior cruciate ligament in his knee is affected and that Mbappé cannot take risks — every passing day is crucial for him to be ready for the World Cup.
Mbappé himself does not want to take risks and is focused on a full recovery, while the debate with the club continues.
Keeping him fit for the World Cup is the top priority for the Frenchman, but Real Madrid also wants him ready for the Champions League showdown.
