Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe could miss Clasico on May 10 against FC Barcelona to recover for the World Cup.
Kylian Mbappe's season with Real Madrid continues to draw criticism. The French forward has yet to win a title with Los Blancos, which has earned him a wave of backlash from fans.
The Frenchman has suffered a muscle injury, specifically a hamstring overload in his left leg, sustained during the league match against Real Betis (1-1).
On its part, the Madrid club issued an official report stating that it would monitor the forward's recovery closely, thus casting doubt on his participation in El Clasico on May 10 against FC Barcelona.
For many, La Liga is already practically over because it is almost impossible for the white team to come back, but it hurts the Merengue fans that their forward will not play in the upcoming matches.
On his part, Mbappe, who has already played in two World Cups in which he put on a good show, is now focusing on having a great World Cup and fighting for that title he so yearns for.
However, although many regret that he is not there, other fans are being more aggressive about it.
In recent hours, Kylian Mbappe has been singled out because, instead of resting to recover in the best possible way for the World Cup, the Frenchman took a short getaway to Italy, enjoying his rest with his partner, Ester Exposito.
Fans believe that the captain of the French national team should focus on his recovery or be more discreet in his public appearances.
Despite all the external criticism he may have, Real Madrid remains focused on ensuring his return is carefully managed so as not to rush the Frenchman.
The medical staff is overseeing his recovery program, as the club seeks to ensure his full physical condition before his return, according to Le Parisien.
Now all that remains is to wait and let time help the forward to fully recover and arrive in the best shape for the World Cup with the French national team. Let’s not forget that when he’s motivated, the forward always delivers.
In the 2025/26 season, Mbappe already has 44 appearances, with 42 goals and 5 assists.
