Kylian Mbappé is back at the center of the latest news from Real Madrid due to his behavior during the recovery of his knee injury. Josep Pedrerol questioned some of his decisions on El Chiringuito and demanded that José Mourinho exercise greater authority in a situation that is sparking debate among Madridistas.

The forward suffered a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the left knee during the last international break. He then left the French national team's camp and continued his recovery away from Valdebebas, with the club's and medical staff's authorization.

Controversy escalated after Mbappé was seen in Paris and shared a video on his social media riding a bicycle. José Mourinho had warned days earlier about the risks of such activity for a professional footballer. MbappéMourinho.

💔 "Mbappé is losing the affection of the Madrid fans." 🤦‍♂️ "Hadn't he achieved a dream by joining Real Madrid?" @jpedrerol's reflection on the Frenchman... with a strong message to Mourinho. https://t.co/eXuKSuUPhc

Josep Pedrerol questions Kylian Mbappé's situation

Josep Pedrerol focused his Monday editorial on how Kylian Mbappé is managing these recovery days. The host pointed out that while other team members were working at Ciudad Real Madrid, the player spent several days elsewhere.

Another episode analyzed was Mbappé's return to Madrid. He landed on Monday morning while the team was already training and later in the afternoon went to Valdebebas for an individual session.

Real Madrid confirmed that the forward trained both indoors and on the field, doing exercises with and without the ball. The player continues his recovery before determining his return to the squad.

Pedrerol made it clear that he could not assert an existing conflict between the parties, but he felt that the sequence of events could convey that image. His criticism particularly focused on the perception created among the supporters.

José Mourinho's handling of the Mbappé case

The reflection also directly involved José Mourinho. Pedrerol urged the coach to exert his authority in the dressing room and prioritize Real Madrid's interests over any player, regardless of their sporting importance.

The situation is significant due to Mbappé's role in the team. The forward has contributed to eight of the 20 goals scored by Madrid this season, and his return affects the offensive plans of the Portuguese coach.

Pedrerol also emphasized the relationship between the player and the fans. He argued that off-field actions could erode the support of a fanbase that eagerly awaited his arrival at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Currently, there is no information confirming any sanctions from the club or an open clash with José Mourinho. The permission to stay away from Madrid during part of the recovery had been agreed upon with medical and sports management.

Kylian Mbappé aims for the match against Villarreal

The next step will be to monitor how Kylian Mbappé responds physically in the upcoming training sessions. Real Madrid will face Villarreal on Saturday, October 10 at 9:00 PM, and the forward is working to be available for the game.

His progress during the week will determine José Mourinho's final decision. Beyond the discussions during the break, Mbappé's knee condition will dictate whether he can immediately rejoin the team or needs a few more days of recovery.
