Kylian Mbappé is back in the headlines related to the latest news about Real Madrid after spending several days in Paris while recovering from his knee injury. Juanma Rodríguez has publicly questioned his leadership and commitment, just days before the match against Villarreal on October 10.

The forward suffered the physical issue on September 25, and subsequent tests by the club's medical services revealed a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the left knee. His recovery will determine when he can return to competition.

Juanma Rodríguez questions Kylian Mbappé's leadership

Mbappé's stay in Paris during his recovery has sparked debate after being seen in a nightclub and posting pictures of cycling around the French capital. His absence from Spain was with the club's permission, according to reports on his recovery.

'El Chiringuito' has also addressed the issue. Juanma Rodríguez argued that Mbappé is not acting as a leader, particularly focusing on his relationship with the team and what Real Madrid represents.

Rodríguez's main concern is not the physical risk of cycling during recovery. His criticism centers on what he perceives as a lack of connection with the demands surrounding a player of significant influence in the dressing room. Real Madrid could have a 250 million offer for Mbappé from Liverpool.

The journalist also questioned whether the forward could be the player to resolve the team's most challenging moments under José Mourinho. This is Rodríguez's personal assessment and not a stance conveyed by the club.

Real Madrid oversees Mbappé's recovery

From a medical perspective, the scenario is different. Real Madrid officially confirmed the injury to the left knee on September 26, leaving his return pending evolution without publicly setting an exact date for discharge.

Mbappé stayed in France for several days with authorization and claimed to have continued working during that time. The forward is now back in Spain and is continuing his recovery at Valdebebas, where he has been working in the gym this Wednesday.

The Bernabéu will have the final say on Mbappé

The calendar also requires cautious management of timelines. Mourinho's team hosts Villarreal on October 10, at 9:00 p.m., in the eighth round of LaLiga. Four days later, they face Roma in the Champions League.

The decision on Kylian Mbappé's presence against Villarreal will depend on his progress during the upcoming training sessions. Following that are matches against Sevilla, Leipzig, and the showdown with Barcelona on October 25, prompting Real Madrid to determine when they believe his knee is fit for a return without unnecessary risks.
