Mbappé could miss matches against Manchester City? Real concerned about striker’s situation

Due to a knee issue, Real Madrid and France forward Kylian Mbappé risks missing the Champions League round of 16 matches.

Details: Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueño has admitted that the timeline for Mbappé’s recovery is causing serious concern: the upcoming clash with Manchester City could take place without the French star.

Let's hope it's nothing serious, because he's very important to us. At the moment, we don't know if he'll be available against Manchester City.

The recovery period remains unclear, and Real Madrid’s management is awaiting more specifics from the medical staff. The player may even require surgery, which could sideline the Frenchman for an extended period.

This season, Mbappé has featured in 33 matches for Real across all competitions, scoring 38 goals—including 13 in the Champions League—and providing six assists.
