The medical report was published five days after Mbappe missed Real Madrid’s 2-1 home win over Benfica in the UEFA Champions League. He was also left out of the squad for Monday’s La Liga clash against Getafe CF.

Injury Timeline and Impact on Form
The injury has reportedly troubled Kylian Mbappe for nearly three months. Despite discomfort, Mbappe continued to play through pain before deciding to rest after a noticeable dip in form.
Even with the lingering issue, Mbappe’s numbers this season remain extraordinary:
- 38 goals in 33 matches for Real Madrid
- 8 goals for France
- 23 La Liga goals
- 13 Champions League goals
Only Harry Kane of Bayern Munich has scored more combined goals for club and country (60) in Europe’s top leagues this season.
However, this latest Kylian Mbappe injury update raises concerns about his availability for upcoming high-stakes matches.
Fixtures at Risk: Manchester City Clash Looms
Mbappe’s availability is uncertain for:
- Friday’s La Liga trip to Celta Vigo
- The Round of 16 tie against Manchester City in the Champions League
Real Madrid will host the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu on March 10 or 11, with the return leg at the Etihad Stadium on March 17 or 18.
If Madrid progress, the team coached by Álvaro Arbeloa could face the winner of Atalanta vs Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. The Champions League final is scheduled for May 30 at the Puskás Arena in Budapest.
Big Blow for Real Madrid?
With decisive fixtures approaching in La Liga and Europe, the Kylian Mbappe injury update could significantly impact Real Madrid’s title ambitions.
While conservative treatment suggests the club is avoiding surgical intervention, fans will anxiously await further updates on one of the world’s most influential forwards.
