Absent this evening to face Benfica in the second leg of the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé will not be back straight away. As the Spanish media have suggested in recent hours, the striker, injured in the knee, will miss several matches. “We discussed it, he, I and the doctors, and we think the best thing is for him to stop, recover and get back to full health.», confirms Alvaro Arbeloa to Movistar+.
More worrying, the Madrid coach does not know when the striker will be able to make his return. “We’ll see, I can’t tell you yet. Obviously, I think it won’t be a matter of days, but it will be a little longer instead. But I also can’t tell you exactly how long. I hope it won’t be too long“. Real Madrid and the France team are crossing their fingers.
