To recap, Mbappé was diagnosed with a left knee injury on December 31. By January 11, he was already back on the pitch, coming off the bench in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona (2-3) in the 76th minute, though he didn’t manage any goal contributions. He entered the pitch to help his team, but he wasn’t yet at 100% fitness.

The French striker needed more time, which is why he missed the high-profile Copa del Rey clash against Segunda side Albacete, where Los Blancos suffered a shock exit from the tournament (2-3).

However, he is expected to feature in the next game. On January 17, Real Madrid host Levante at home, with kickoff scheduled for 14:00 Central European Time.

Reminder: During the Albacete vs Real Madrid cup match, a home supporter threw a banana at Vinicius.
