Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe is undergoing additional assessments on his left knee in Paris, though surgery is not currently planned. The 27-year-old forward has been dealing with an external ligament injury since late 2025, causing him to miss recent matches, including the Champions League play-off against Benfica.
Mbappe will sit out Real’s upcoming La Liga fixture against Getafe. His participation in the Champions League last-16 first leg against Manchester City next week remains uncertain.
A statement from Mbappe’s representatives confirmed he is in the French capital with Real Madrid medical staff to “optimise his follow-up care and preparing for his comeback.”
Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa previously indicated that the decision for Mbappe to rest and recover was a mutual one, emphasizing the importance of his full fitness. Mbappe has been a prolific scorer this season, with 38 goals in 33 appearances.
