Mbappe injury has become a new issue to Real Madrid before a big match against Real Sociedad in the La Liga. When things are not going the way of Madrid in competitions, Kylian Mbappe has been among the few families that have been steady. His fitness now comes under the limelight once again.
As it has been reported in Spain, Mbappe has spent the second day in the club training facilities. He was not training on the field with the other players. Rather he undertook a personal rehabilitation regime at the gym. This is because he has had continuous pain on his left knee, something that has been keeping him at bay since the latter part of last year.
This leaves Real Madrid in a tough situation. The team has already been put on the spot following the loss in domestic and knockout matches. Mbappe can move, run, and threaten goals faster than Madrid could control, which is why his speed, movement and threat of goals have been the factor in situations where Madrid made it hard to control the games. Carlo Ancelotti can be forced to reconsider his attacking formation without him at full fitness.
The knee problem is not new. Mbappe has already been absent due to important matches. In early January, he missed the La Liga match with Real Betis. He also missed the Spanish Super Cup semifinal with Atletiko Madrid. More to the point, he was missing the Copa del Rey game against Albacete which was won by the Real Madrid, eliminating their team.
Staff in the healthcare will now be cautious. The club does not wish to have a longer absence as a result of rushing him back. As significant league matches are ahead, the workload of Mbappe is starting to be handled.
