In recent days, Real Madrid has closely followed the evolution of the situation of Kylian Mbappé, injured in the ankle during the victory against Villarreal this weekend.

The 26 -year -old joined the French team earlier this week, in anticipation of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, and has so far remained in Clairefontaine.

Mbappé was followed upon arrival and it was decided that his injury was not serious enough to justify his package to face Azerbaijan and Iceland. However, the situation could evolve if the situation does not improve, Real Madrid following the situation closely.

According to Marca, Mbappé has still not joined his teammates from the French team in training, continuing his individual work during the Tuesday session. His participation in the match against Azerbaijan on Friday is uncertain, but Real Madrid expects that his player does not come back before the scheduled date after the two games of the Blues.

Didier Deschamps takes stock of the situation of Mbappé

Asked in recent days about the situation of his captain, Didier Deschamps clearly indicated that he could count on him during this international break.

“He had a little embarrassment, but it is not so serious. Otherwise, he would not be there today. The injuries are always reported before the announcement of the summons, and it even happens that they are afterwards. For the moment, I have no new information indicating an aggravation. If so, we will keep you posted. »»

Real Madrid will naturally be worried about Mbappé, especially if it plays for the French team without being 100 % of its form. In less than three weeks, the Clasico will be a minor issue for Real Madrid, which must imperatively ensure that his star attacker is ready.
