While his getaway to Dubai has raised many questions, Real Madrid is perfectly calm regarding the physical state of Kylian Mbappé. As reported The Teamthe striker did not take part in collective training yesterday and did not even go to Valdebebas to have his right ankle assessed, which has still been painful for several weeks. Nothing alarming for the club, which is granting him an additional day of rest before his return scheduled for tomorrow morning at 11 a.m., at the same time as all Madrid internationals. The planning is clear: Mbappé must complete the entire session on Friday, then that of Saturday, with his sights set on a probable start on Sunday in Elche.
Within Casa Blanca, the file does not worry. The staff knows that the attacker “plays with controlled embarrassment” and that there is no miracle treatment, apart from occasional rest. For his part, Philippe Diallo wanted to defuse the criticism aimed at his captain, while reminding that the Federation has nothing to say once the player returns to his club. The president of the FFF indicated that Mbappé was indeed suffering from real inflammation and that his absence in Azerbaijan was due to a “precautionary principle”. He also defended the player against attacks on his private life, citing “a form of harassment” permanent around its slightest movements.
