Could miss time Mbappe (knee) could miss time due to his recurrent issues, coach Alvaro Arbeloa said in a press conference, according to RMC Sport. "We discussed it with him and the doctors, and w...

Impact Mbappe is expected to miss time as he finally addresses the knee issue he has been managing for months. The superstar has consistently pushed through to stay available for the Merengues, but this time the injury calls for a legitimate two to three week shutdown, and with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon this summer, he is unlikely to risk a bigger setback by rushing back. If he ends up sidelined for multiple matches, Gonzalo Garcia and Rodrygo are in line to see an uptick in minutes and a larger share of the attacking workload.

Keep dancing, Vinicius Jr! Real Madrid star back to his best as he shakes off the haters, racists and a terrible 2025

Ruled out Wednesday Mbappe (knee) is ruled out for Wednesday's clash against Benfica in the Champions League, the club posted.

Impact Mbappe was already trending toward missing Wednesday's Champions League showdown against Benfica because of recurring knee trouble, and he ultimately doesn't make the squad. It's a major hit for the Merengues, as he's a locked-in starter who scored 10 goals in 10 Champions League appearances this season, production that's nearly impossible to replace. With Rodrygo (suspended) missing, Gonzalo Garcia is now the leading candidate to get the nod up top against the Benfiquistas.

Unlikely to face Benfica Mbappe is doubtful for Wednesday's match against Benfica due to some knee pain, according to Sergio Rodriguez and Ryan Mitchell of Marca.

Impact Mbappe had to quit Tuesday's training session early and is now a major doubt for the reverse fixture of their knockout stage contest against Benfica. The forward appears to have not yet fully recovered from some knee pain he was suffering from ahead of their last match, rushing back too early and now trying to avoid a major absence by potentially preserving him on Wednesday. The absence of the world-class player would lead the team to lose much of its explosiveness and rely on Vinicius Junior for most of their attacking work, as Mbappe has 10 goal contributions in 10 UCL appearances this campaign. With Rodrygo suspended, Franco Mastantuono, Brahim Diaz or Gonzalo Garcia will likely need to step up into a bigger role to keep their dreams of winning the competition alive.
