⚡ French star Kylian Mbappé, of Real Madrid, has decided to temporarily step away from matches this season to fully recover and prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
📰 Journalist Antoine Simonot stated that Mbappé refuses to risk playing before reaching full fitness, as he is still below his optimal condition.
🎯 Mbappé’s primary goal is to arrive at the World Cup fully fit with the French national team, while also keeping his chances with Real Madrid in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League alive during the crucial phase of the season.
⚠️ The player will not return to matches until fully recovered to avoid repeating the experience of playing while injured over the past two and a half months.
🩺 Mbappé has been dealing with a left knee sprain sustained in December against Celta Vigo, yet he featured in matches against Deportivo Alavés, Sevilla, and the Copa del Rey match against Talavera, attempting to match Cristiano Ronaldo’s single-season scoring record at Real Madrid.
