Mbappé, on the Verge of an Injury, Specialist Doctor Warns Madrid of the Risk

Alarms are going off over what's happening with the French forward and there's concern

Real Madrid's having a serious problem with injuries in recent seasons. Several players have been out for many months, like Militão or Carvajal. However, in the current season, many have also missed games.

This happened to Mbappé, who managed to recover in time for the Intercontinental Cup final. However, the risk of relapse is significant, and a well-informed club insider warns about it. This is David Chorro, a physical trainer who was with Real Madrid in the 2013-2014 season with Ancelotti.

He warns of one of the problems since "among the risk factors for an injury, stress is one of them". The demands on him as a major star and his adaptation are things that can affect Mbappé. However, there's also another thing to consider, a possible relapse.

"One of the main risk factors for having an injury is having had one already" he says as a warning. "The more recent, the higher the risk" he adds, so Mbappé must be very careful. Real Madrid knows this and has to handle the whole issue with great care.

Mbappé at his best, so an injury could be a big problem

It took Mbappé several months to adapt to Real Madrid and the pressure that comes with the club. Additionally, he had some injuries that forced him to stop. However, it seems he's now fully settled, and it's starting to show on the field.

In recent games, we've seen the best version of Mbappé since he joined the white team. With power, combining with his teammates, and easily scoring again. This shows that his adaptation period is over, and he's fully prepared.

This is why Real Madrid is concerned about the possibility of a new injury for Kylian, which could set him back. Alarms went off during the Clásico when he had to play with a bandaged ankle. However, attention must be paid to see if Ancelotti can give him some rest.
