When will the final decision be made on Mbappe’s return?

Kylian Mbappe is currently out of action due to an old knee injury. The French forward has missed the last two matches of La Liga and UEFA Champions League due to this injury. Real Madrid will face Elche in La Liga today (Saturday), and Mbappe will not be available for this match.

Meanwhile, his absence seems to be getting longer. However, Real coach Alvaro Arbeloa is optimistic about Mbappe's return to the team against Manchester City in the second leg of the Champions League last 16.

Regarding Mbappe's chances of playing in the match to be held at Man City on March 18, Arbeloa said, "Mbappe's condition is improving every day and his rehabilitation is progressing according to the plan. Everything depends on his physical condition. He will not play in today's match, but it is hoped that he will be able to travel to Manchester with the team. A final decision will be made on Sunday after seeing his physical condition tomorrow.

It is worth noting that Real Madrid defeated Man City 3-0 in the first leg at home. However, the Spanish club is in a cautious position as the return leg will be at the opponent's ground.

Meanwhile, the French national football team is also concerned about Mbappe's injury. Because the FIFA World Cup is going to start in just three months. Various media reports are saying that Mbappe may participate in the World Cup even if his knee injury is not completely healed.
