Real Madrid has not specified the duration of his absence from the stadiums yet, but it comes at a sensitive time, a month and a half before the start of the 2026 World Cup.
Mbappe’s participation in El Clásico is under threat
Mbappe is expected to miss the Merengue’s next match against Espanyol on Sunday in the local league, and his participation in the “Clásico” scheduled for May 10 against Barcelona remains uncertain, according to what the Spanish press reported in preliminary information.
This comes in light of a difficult season for Real Madrid, which exited the Champions League and the King’s Cup, lost the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona, and also moved away from the league title race, as it is 11 points behind its Catalan rival.
