Real Madrid is increasingly concerned about Kylian Mbappe’s condition, with recent remarks from the Spanish media heightening the uncertainty regarding the French forward’s possible return.
Journalist Alberto Pereiro provided insights on Mbappe’s situation during a segment on Radioestadio Noche.
He noted that while there is a possibility for the Real Madrid star to appear in a potential Spanish Super Cup final, it’s likely that he won’t be at his full capacity.
It’s important to highlight that Mbappe’s injury has impacted Real Madrid more severely than initially anticipated.
This is not seen as just a minor issue internally; rather, it marks another setback in a season already plagued by ongoing injury issues within the squad.
The French forward is certain to miss the league match against Real Betis on Sunday, and attention has now shifted to the timeline for his return.
When will he return?
Currently, Mbappe is the biggest uncertainty for Real Madrid as they approach the Spanish Super Cup.

However, everything beyond that remains uncertain. His participation in the Super Cup is neither confirmed nor ruled out.
Within the club, there is an unmistakable tone of caution. While no definitive commitments are made, the door remains open for his potential return.
The club recognizes that, under normal circumstances, they would be hesitant to risk Mbappe’s participation in the Super Cup given his current condition.
Nevertheless, they are leaving the option open for a last-minute decision based on how his recovery progresses.

The medical team and the player are continuously evaluating his status on a daily basis.
According to the club’s communications, both Mbappe and the doctors remain uncertain about how his knee will respond in the upcoming days.
His possible return depends on various factors, including pain levels, stability, and overall physical response during training.
There is some cautious optimism about his availability for the final, but even in this scenario, he is unlikely to be at peak fitness.
