Chaos has erupted between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid, according to radio station Cadena Ser, regarding the French forward's complaints about his left knee, adding to the problems of the Madrid team, which was surprisingly defeated at home in the Santiago Bernabéu by Getafe (0-1) last Monday. The central point of contention between Real and the Frenchman lies in the recovery timelines. While Real Madrid estimates a downtime of about three weeks, aiming for a possible return for the Champions League Round of 16 against Manchester City, which starts next week, the player's close circle has a very different view on the matter. This is particularly because the former PSG player does not want to risk a more serious issue caused by an early return with just 100 days left until the World Cup. "The player's left posterior cruciate ligament is at its limit," says the aforementioned source, citing the athlete's close circle. "Let's call it a sprain because that's what the medical report states, but the injury is serious. There are 100 days until the World Cup, and Mbappé has no time to spare. He needs those 100 days to fully recover." For this reason, the player is unwilling to take any risks that could jeopardize his participation in the World Cup, where he is the main figure of the French national team. It is certain that Mbappé's knee injury, which has already led him to visit Paris for advice from a specialist, remains shrouded in secrecy during this crucial phase of the season.
