Kylian Mbappé may have been sidelined for Real Madrid's painful El Clásico defeat to Barcelona, but the French superstar has made it clear: he's determined to lace up his boots before the season's final whistle. With just three games left in the campaign, Mbappé is pushing hard to return to action and regain his rhythm ahead of this summer's World Cup preparations.
According to reports from MARCA, Mbappé is fully focused on playing in Madrid's remaining matches—against Real Oviedo, Sevilla, and Athletic Club. The news comes after growing speculation about his physical condition following his last-minute withdrawal from Sunday's Clásico at Spotify Camp Nou. Just days before that pivotal clash, the coaching staff was optimistic about his availability. But everything changed during the final training session at Valdebebas.
With only minutes left in practice, Mbappé suddenly stopped after feeling discomfort in his hamstring. He immediately informed staff that he couldn't continue and left the session unexpectedly—a move that surprised everyone, especially since the training had gone smoothly up to that point. This latest setback follows a hamstring injury he suffered against Real Betis on April 24, which has kept him out of action since.
But Mbappé has no intention of ending his season early. Real Madrid shares that hope, and the club is working closely with him on his recovery. The plan? Return in time for Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo at the Santiago Bernabéu—a game that has become increasingly important for a Madrid side trying to salvage some pride after a disappointing campaign.
After Oviedo, Los Blancos will close their home schedule on May 24 against Athletic Club, following a trip to Sevilla. For a team that's had a frustrating season, having their star forward back on the pitch could provide a much-needed spark—and a final chance for fans to see Mbappé shine before the summer break.
