According to Sport, Real Madrid is planning to allow Mbappe to fully recover from his injury to be in optimal condition for El Clásico against Barcelona on October 25. The club stated that Mbappe has been granted permission to travel to Paris and everything is proceeding normally.

Mbappe made headlines again this Thursday. After sustaining an injury during the international break, the Real Madrid forward was spotted entering a Parisian nightclub with his girlfriend, Estelle Expósito. Photos of the incident quickly circulated on social media, drawing criticism from some Real Madrid fans.

The main reason for fan dissatisfaction is that Mbappe is not recovering at the Valdebebas training ground, while teammates such as Fede Valverde and Ibrahima Konaté are rehabilitating there. Fans also recall last season: when Mbappe was injured before the season ended, his vacation with Estelle Expósito was extensively covered by the media.

Real Madrid's medical report indicated that Mbappe suffered a hyperextension of the posterior capsule in his left knee. Reports suggest this type of injury typically sidelines players for 10 to 14 days, making him likely to be available for the league match against Villarreal on October 19.

However, Real Madrid is unwilling to take any risks, and the training and match schedule for the coming weeks will be tailored around El Clásico. Mbappe may not start against Villarreal.

Real Madrid believes that El Clásico at Spotify Camp Nou at the end of the month could define the entire season. Real Madrid is currently 6 points behind Barcelona, and there is a clear difference in recent form between the two teams.
