Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the French national team, is currently in Paris receiving treatment for a knee injury, although surgery is not anticipated.
The Real Madrid striker has been diagnosed with a knee sprain and is following a conservative treatment plan, as confirmed by his entourage.
Mbappé is under the care of both Real Madrid medical staff and French specialists, as he seeks to optimise his recovery ahead of a return to action. The diagnosis comes as Madrid prepares to face Getafe without their star forward, who has been plagued by knee issues since late 2025.
Real Madrid released a statement confirming the diagnosis and treatment strategy, assuring fans of Mbappé’s commitment to returning at full strength. The coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, emphasised the importance of allowing Mbappé time to heal properly, stating, “It’s not going to be a question of days; it will take a bit longer.”
The striker’s fitness is crucial for both his club and the national team, with France set to play two friendlies in the United States later this month before beginning their World Cup campaign against Senegal on June 16.
