Yahoo Sports Injury update: Real Madrid superstar will not undergo surgery, 100% available for Super Cup
Journalist Edu Aguirre has shared some exciting news via El Chiringuito TV about Kylian Mbappe, the new star signing for Real Madrid.
Contrary to previous reports, he has confirmed that Mbappe will not need surgery on his nose. Instead, he is set to start training on the afternoon of August 7 and is fully expected to play in the UEFA Super Cup.
This means fans can look forward to seeing him on the field at 100%.
Mbappe broke his nose during Euros
To recap, Mbappe broke his nose during France’s first game at Euro 2024 on June 17. The injury was serious enough that many thought he might need surgery, which could have sidelined him for the rest of the tournament.
However, he made a remarkable comeback just eight days later, returning to the pitch with a protective mask.
Despite the discomfort of wearing the mask, he chose to play without it in France’s last game of the Euros, which ended in a 1-2 loss in the semi-finals.
With Euro 2024 behind him, Mbappe turned his attention back to his club career. On Tuesday, he was officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player at Santiago Bernabeu.
The situation is not that serious
During his presentation, Mbappe spoke about his condition, expressing optimism about his recovery.
He mentioned that both he and the club are closely monitoring his situation. While no final decision has been made, Mbappe is hopeful to be ready for his first official match with Real Madrid.
The exact date of Mbappe’s debut for Madrid remains uncertain. However, his new team has a busy schedule ahead. They will travel to the USA in early August for three friendly matches against AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea.
The first competitive match for Real Madrid in the 2024-25 season is set for August 14, when they will face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final in Warsaw.
Fans are eagerly awaiting this match, as it will be a significant test for the team and an opportunity for Mbappe to showcase his skills on a big stage.
