First, injuries need to be healed to return to full training and match action.

Details: According to L’Équipe, 27-year-old Real Madrid and France forward Kylian Mbappé has decided not to risk his health and informed the coaching staff that he is not ready to play in La Liga’s 20th round against Levante this Saturday.

The reason is a knee injury that worsened after the Spanish Super Cup final. The Frenchman is determined to recover fully and avoid risking his health by playing through painkillers. There’s also a strong chance Mbappé will miss the Champions League round 7 clash against Monaco, scheduled for next Tuesday.

This season, Mbappé has played 25 matches for Los Blancos, scoring 29 goals and providing 5 assists.

Reminder: Kylian Mbappé could be ready for the match against Barcelona
