With fewer than 100 days to go before the World Cup, Kylian Mbappé's physical problems have become a cause for concern both for Real Madrid and for the France national team. The forward has been dealing since December with a discomfort that has never fully gone away and that has reappeared in the middle of European competition.
According to the Spanish club, it is a sprain in his left knee suffered on December 7, in the match against Celta de Vigo. Although at that time it did not seem serious, the pain has persisted throughout the season and has reappeared at different points in the calendar.
The latest warning sign came in the buildup to the clash against Benfica in the Champions League, when a new discomfort in the same area forced him to stop and to begin a round of consultations with specialists to pinpoint the exact source of the problem and to define the best treatment.
