🚨 Mbappé will not undergo surgery for now (AFP)

The axe has fallen.

Injured in the knee since December and out of action for Real Madrid for about ten days, Kylian Mbappé is currently in Paris with Real Madrid’s medical staff to “take a precise look at his progress,” AFP learned on Monday from those close to the French striker, thus confirming the day’s reports.

“By mutual agreement with the club, additional tests are being carried out in order to make a precise assessment of his knee’s progress,” the entourage of the French captain specified in a statement sent to AFP on Monday. “At this stage, surgery is not being considered.”

Two crucial fixtures await Real Madrid in the coming days, with the Champions League round of 16 first and second legs against Manchester City (March 11-17). Kylian Mbappé’s participation is uncertain.

The French national team, for its part, is set to play friendlies against Brazil (March 26 in Boston) and Colombia (March 29 in Washington), two and a half months before the start of the World Cup.
