Mbappé Angers Madridistas and Teammates

Kylian Mbappé's recent behavior has reportedly not only displeased Real Madrid fans but also his teammates, according to "AS." The French forward sustained an injury in the match against Betis, ruling him out of the Espanyol game. Hopes within the "Los Blancos" camp were that he would recover in time for El Clásico on May 10th. The medical staff decided it was best for Mbappé to rest for several days, meaning he wasn't required to be at the training ground daily. However, the France captain opted for a trip to Sardinia with his girlfriend, Ester Esposito. Furthermore, yesterday, "El Chiringuito" aired footage of Mbappé's private jet landing in Madrid just 12 minutes before the start of the Espanyol match. This game was crucial for Real and its fans because a loss would have crowned Barcelona champions immediately. The entire week would have been dominated by discussions about whether Real players would form a guard of honor for the new champions under such circumstances. Thanks to the victory over Espanyol, this scenario is now avoided, but the Real Madrid dressing room was reportedly annoyed by Mbappé's ostentatious enjoyment while they prepared for the evening's crucial fixture.

Arbeloa declined to comment directly on his star striker's actions, stating: "All planning for injured players is overseen and managed by Real Madrid's medical staff. They are the ones who control when someone needs to be at Valdebebas and when they don't. Beyond that, everyone does what they deem appropriate in their free time. I cannot interfere with that."

According to "AS," post-Betis match tests indicated that Mbappé would likely struggle to be fit for El Clásico. Therefore, doctors decided to prioritize the player's rest, which would facilitate his full recovery. Arbeloa stated that it would become clear this week whether Mbappé would be able to participate in the derby at all.
