Kylian Mbappé is out for the Champions League playoff return against Benfica. The Real Madrid forward is still struggling with his left knee. He interrupted his training this Tuesday due to ongoing pain. Tests reveal that his injury hasn't healed. The Madrid club confirms that he won't be able to play on Wednesday, despite the hopes of coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who had highlighted his dedication. This absence could impact the team after a 1-0 victory in the first leg in Lisbon. The duration of his unavailability remains uncertain, but a treatment protocol is necessary. Mbappé has been playing on one leg for several weeks, having difficulty with acceleration. He prioritizes his health ahead of the World Cup.
