Mbappé finally escapes his fitness maze as Madrid breathe sigh of relief
The French forward completed 90 minutes against Mallorca without knee issues, a major boost after missing key fixtures against City and Atleti recently.
Kylian Mbappé appears to have finally shaken off the knee troubles that have plagued his early Madrid career, completing the full 90 minutes against Mallorca without any setbacks.
Back in business
In what can only be described as music to Madrid fans’ ears, the French superstar has navigated his way out of the injury maze that’s been hampering his impact since arriving at the Bernabéu. The knee complaint that’s forced Los Blancos to carefully manage his minutes over the past month seems to be behind him.
This fitness breakthrough couldn’t come at a better time for both player and club. The knee issue had previously kept Mbappé sidelined for some absolutely massive fixtures, including:
- The Champions League clash against Manchester City
- The Madrid derby against Atlético in the Supercopa
Perfect timing
The sight of Mbappé completing the full 90 without any apparent discomfort will have Carlo Ancelotti and the Madrid medical staff breathing a collective sigh of relief. For all their depth, having their marquee summer signing available makes a world of difference to Madrid’s attacking options.
With the business end of the season approaching and battles on multiple fronts, having a fit Mbappé could be the difference between silverware and disappointment. The lad’s been desperate to make his mark in the famous white shirt, and this fitness milestone suggests he might finally have the platform to do so without restrictions.
For Madrid supporters, seeing their new number seven finding his fitness is just what the doctor ordered - quite literally in this case!
