Real Madrid Relief: Kylian Mbappé Ruled Out for 10-12 Days but Cleared for El Clásico
Real Madrid fans across the globe can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Following intense fears of a long-term layoff after limping off the pitch in Turkey, official MRI scans conducted at the Sanitas-La Moraleja hospital in Madrid have confirmed that Kylian Mbappé suffered only a minor hyperextension of the posterior capsule in his left knee.
A Reassuring Medical Verdict
Real Madrid released their official “Parte Médico” on Saturday, detailing the findings of the medical examination. The tests ruled out any anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, meniscus damage, or severe structural tear. With an estimated absence of 10 to 12 days, the French superstar avoids what could have been a catastrophic autumn setback.
Green Light for the October 25 Clásico
Looking at the fixture calendar, Mbappé is ruled out of France’s clash against Belgium as well as Real Madrid’s immediate upcoming fixtures against Lille and AS Roma. However, the 10-12 day rehabilitation protocol guarantees his return well ahead of the season-defining Clásico against Hansi Flick’s FC Barcelona on October 25 at the Camp Nou.
Managing the Workload
José Mourinho and the medical staff plan to manage Mbappé’s rehabilitation with utmost care. Having recorded 8 goals in all competitions this season, Mbappé’s return will be carefully ramped up through targeted physical therapy to ensure zero risk of relapse.
