Kylian Mbappé, a 27-year-old forward, is in the spotlight in the latest news of Real Madrid as he will be out for 10 to 12 days due to a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of his left knee. Tests conducted in Valdebebas have ruled out a more serious injury, and the Frenchman will remain in Madrid during the international break.

The physical issue occurred while playing for France and raised concerns due to his history with that same joint. However, the MRI has reduced the initially feared timelines, allowing José Mourinho to plan for a scenario where Mbappé might only miss the next LaLiga match.

Kylian Mbappé likely to miss the match against Villarreal

The first game for Real Madrid after the break will be against Villarreal on October 10th at the Santiago Bernabéu. With an estimated recovery time of 10 to 12 days, this match is the prime candidate to be played without Mbappé on the field.

The subsequent game follows just four days later. José Mourinho's team will face Roma on October 14th in the second group stage match of the Champions League. While Mbappé could potentially be fit in time, his participation will depend on the knee's progress over the next few days.

Following Roma, the schedule offers little respite. Madrid will host Sevilla on October 18th in LaLiga and Leipzig on the 21st in the Champions League. Four days later, on October 25th, the Clásico against FC Barcelona at Camp Nou awaits.

This particular game may influence the management of the striker's playing time. If the medical staff opt for caution, Mbappé might delay his return or gradually reappear before facing a crucial match for the league standings.

Real Madrid will closely monitor his left knee

The affected area requires monitoring the progress of Kylian Mbappé. It is the same knee that caused him issues last season, sidelining him for seven matches. This is also his seventh injury since joining the club in 2024.

Since joining the white team, Mbappé has missed 14 matches due to injury. This new setback is the second related to the same knee, although current tests do not suggest a lengthy absence.

The international break works in favor of his recovery. Mbappé will not have to play for France and can complete the entire process at the club's facilities, under the supervision of the Madrid medical staff.

Essential for Mourinho

For José Mourinho, the priority is to recover the forward without jeopardizing his availability during a stretch of five matches between October 10th and 25th. Villarreal, Roma, Sevilla, Leipzig, and Barcelona are lined up consecutively on the calendar.

The progress over the next 10-12 days will determine Kylian Mbappé's return. The initial goal will be to assess his availability for the Roma match on October 14th; if doctors decide to extend the recovery period, Sevilla and Leipzig will offer two more chances for him to compete before the Clásico on October 25th.
