Paris has become Kylian Mbappé’s recovery base during the October international interval, with the Real Madrid forward using social media to show the work behind his return from a left-knee injury.
The France striker had drawn criticism after footage and photographs emerged of him leaving a nightclub with his partner, Ester Expósito. Some supporters questioned whether he was treating his rehabilitation with sufficient care after being ruled out of the latest international programme.
Mbappé shows rehabilitation work in Paris
- Mbappé was sidelined after suffering a hyperextension of the posterior capsule in his left knee during France’s friendly against Turkey.
- The issue ruled him out for the remainder of the October international window, including France’s UEFA Nations League commitments.
- With no international matches to play, Real Madrid allowed the forward to remain in Paris to continue his recovery programme.
- Following the reaction to the nightclub images, Mbappé posted footage from a demanding physical session, including treadmill running and power-focused exercises.
- He also shared a separate video of himself cycling through Paris, offering another glimpse of how he is spending the break from competition.
The training images indicate that Mbappé is continuing to build his physical condition while the knee discomfort is managed. The club and player have taken a cautious approach in order to prevent the injury from worsening.
No confirmed return date
Mbappé’s posts provide evidence of his ongoing rehabilitation, but they do not establish a date for his return to match action. For now, the Madrid forward remains focused on completing his recovery before rejoining the competitive schedule.
