Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe is set to undergo further medical assessments on a knee problem. The France international will not have surgery at this stage, according to reports from Spain. Mbappe sustained the injury during recent domestic fixtures and has since missed several training sessions with the first-team squad.
Medical staff at the Spanish club intend to monitor the 27-year-old forward over the coming days to determine the extent of the damage. Initial scans suggest the issue is manageable without invasive procedures, per ESPN. Real Madrid officials are hopeful that a period of rest and specific rehabilitation will allow the player to return to action before the end of the current campaign.
The striker has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season since joining the club. Manager Carlo Ancelotti may have to reorganise his attacking line for upcoming league matches while Mbappe recovers. The club has not provided a specific timeline for his return to full fitness, according to AS.
