According to reports from SER, the French forward is carrying a inflammation in the external collateral ligament of the left knee. The medical services have chosen a conservative route, aiming to avoid surgery and prioritizing that he does not suffer a recurrence.

The origin of the problem dates to December, after a blow suffered against Celta. Since then, Mbappé has competed with visible discomfort, with less explosiveness and difficulties maintaining changes of pace during exertion.

The relapse occurred on February 25, when the attacker had to stop training before the European match. With this scenario, and always according to SER’s forecast, the club is working with the idea that his reappearance will take place in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg against Manchester City.

The concern also reaches France, just months before the 2026 World Cup, where there are fears he will strain the knee and worsen the injury.
