Real Madrid have been dealt another injury concern over Kylian Mbappe, with the forward still struggling with knee problems ahead of the trip to face Real Sociedad.
Mbappe has been managing the issue in recent days and his condition remains a worry as Carlo Ancelotti’s side prepare for their next test in La Liga. Madrid’s medical staff are continuing to monitor the situation, and the club are being cautious with the France captain as the season enters a demanding period.
The latest setback comes at an awkward time for Madrid, who are looking to maintain their momentum at the top end of the table. A tough away match in San Sebastian is next, and Mbappe’s fitness has become one of the main talking points in the build-up.
It has been revealed that Mbappe is still dealing with ongoing discomfort in his knee, with the problem not fully easing as quickly as hoped. Madrid now face a race to have him ready for the Real Sociedad game, while also weighing up the risk of making the injury worse.
Ancelotti is expected to make a late call on Mbappe, with the final decision likely to depend on how the player responds in the hours leading up to kick-off.
