On Saturday afternoon, Real Madrid staff gathered around Kylian Mbappé as doctors examined his left knee. The examination revealed a “hyperextension of the posterior capsule,” a condition the club’s medical team said would need only ten to twelve days to heal.
According to the assessment, Mbappé should be fit for selection when La Liga resumes after the international break. Real Madrid is scheduled to host Villarreal at the Bernabéu on Saturday, Oct. 10, at 21:00 local time, broadcast on Movistar.
The French forward had been sidelined following a knock sustained while playing for France. His absence left the team without one of its primary attackers during a period of intense competition.
Club officials confirmed the prognosis and indicated that Mbappé will be available for the upcoming match, pending final fitness checks. The news was welcomed by teammates and supporters, who anticipate his impact on the team’s offensive options.
Real Madrid will look to capitalize on Mbappé’s return as they aim to maintain their position in the league table. The next few weeks will test whether the brief recovery period translates into full match fitness for the striker.
