Mbappe Injury Update: Real Madrid Confirms Left Knee Sprain
Mbappé's recurring left-knee injury is treated conservatively after consultation with a specialist, raising doubts about his availability for the Champions League first leg vs Manchester City.
- Before the Getafe match, the club confirmed Kylian Mbappé will follow a conservative treatment and is doubtful for the March 11 match against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabéu.
- Kylian Mbappé first flagged the problem on Dec. 7, 2025, and three months on he consulted an external specialist in France after reports shifted the diagnosis from the medial collateral ligament to the posterior cruciate ligament.
- Heavy match load shows that he played 59 matches last season and 33 this campaign, but missed Madrid's last two games after pushing through pain in 12 appearances.
- Madrid have ruled him out of Monday's Getafe match and are unlikely to risk him for Friday's Celta Vigo game, while MARCA reports he may only be fit for the March 17 second leg, casting doubt on the March 11 Bernabéu tie.
- Reports in France suggest a comeback in around three weeks, which would see Kylian Mbappé miss both legs against City if timeline holds.
