Mbappe Injury Hits Real Madrid Training: Super Cup in Jeopardy
31 December 2025
A powerful blow for the royal team.
Injury Update
Real Madrid confirmed that their French star Kylian Mbappé suffered a left knee twist during a training session.
The injury could sideline him from the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, which will be streamed via the Eight app as the exclusive broadcaster of the Roshn Saudi League.
Painful Moment and Timing
Several Spanish outlets circulated a video from Real Madrid's training on Tuesday showing Mbappé grimacing in pain as he clutched his knee.
The footage captured him stopping training and signaling his discomfort to teammates around him.
Expected Absence and Schedule
According to L'Équipe, Mbappé has been dealing with a knee ligament issue for several weeks, with a potential absence of up to three weeks.
If the absence is confirmed, Mbappé could miss important clashes with Real Betis, the entire Spanish Super Cup program, the Copa del Rey Round of 16, and matches against Levante and Monaco.
Madrid now faces a critical stretch of the season as doctors monitor the injury.
Punchline 1: If injuries had a transfer window, Mbappé would be negotiating a return with every doctor in sight.
Punchline 2: If goals healed injuries, Madrid would already be touring the world—clinic stops included, because apparently even trophies need a prescription.
