A fresh update on the wellbeing of Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé has come to the fore on Thursday evening.
And the news is something of a mixed bag for those of a Blancos persuasion.
Frontman Mbappé of course suffered an injury setback late last week.
After playing a starring role in France putting Azerbaijan to the sword in a World Cup qualifier, the 26-year-old limped out of proceedings late on.
This came owing to an issue in the same ankle which he injured just days before whilst lining out for Real Madrid.
The understanding had previously been that Mbappé would be given the green light to return to group training in Spain’s capital on Thursday.
This, however, did not prove to be the case.
And though the in-form goalscorer will be hopeful of instead linking back up with his teammates on Friday, his status for the weekend remains up in the air.
As per a report from L’Équipe:
‘The Frenchman still feels some pain. Depending on how he feels during the next two sessions, Mbappé will decide with the Real Madrid staff whether he will play against Getafe on Sunday.’
