"It's very clear to us: what's wrong, and what we want now. It's that [Mbappé] recovers totally from the discomfort, so he can come back at 100%, with complete confidence and security -- when he feels totally recovered, and that discomfort has disappeared."
"Right now it's better not to give a timeline. We'll see how he feels, and based on that, we'll decide. We want him to return at 100%, and when that happens, he'll be back."
"Mbappé has been troubled by discomfort in his left knee since before Christmas, with Madrid attempting to manage the injury by occasionally resting the player -- including the Manchester City defeat in December, the Spanish Supercopa semifinal and last month's LaLiga win over Real Sociedad."
Kylian Mbappé has been managing a left knee injury since before Christmas, with Real Madrid periodically resting him throughout the season. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa confirmed the club understands the nature of the problem and emphasized that Mbappé will only return when fully recovered at 100% confidence. Arbeloa stated the recovery period will extend beyond days, indicating a longer-term absence. The player missed recent matches including the Manchester City defeat in December, the Spanish Supercopa semifinal, and the Champions League playoff against Benfica. Madrid faces City on March 11, with Arbeloa indicating decisions about Mbappé's participation will be made day-by-day based on his recovery progress.
