Journalist Miguel Ángel Díaz revealed that French star Kylian Mbappé will not be available against Elche on Saturday, as part of the 28th round of the Spanish League, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Diaz explained that the player is currently focused on fully recovering from his injury in order to try to catch up with the anticipated match against Manchester City next Tuesday in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, although his participation in that match is still uncertain.

Real Madrid recently announced that Mbappe is suffering from a sprain in his left knee, without revealing the expected duration of his absence from the field, noting that the player has been dealing with this injury since December 7th.

The player recently returned to the Spanish capital, Madrid, after spending several days in Paris, where he consulted with some specialists as part of monitoring his medical condition. This was under the supervision of the Real Madrid medical team, as part of his recovery plan from injury.
