Mbappé returns to Real Madrid training, the Casa Blanca waits

Kylian Mbappé, the 27-year-old French striker, has returned to training with Real Madrid and is declared fit to play. The club expects the player to quickly calm the Casa Blanca supporters.

Recent controversies

Casa Blanca supporters are irritated by several off‑field incidents. Last week, Mbappé was spotted in a nightclub in Paris while he was injured, then he posted a video of himself cycling in Switzerland, accompanied by music by Michel Fugain. These events have fueled media debate since the start of the season.

Player statistics

Since his arrival, the Frenchman has scored 94 goals and provided 14 assists in 111 matches. Despite these numbers, he has not won any major trophies. He is the highest‑paid player at Real Madrid and has been with the club for two years.

Expert reactions

Antonio Romero said: “Someone needs to tell him: ‘Here, this isn’t Mbappé FC, it’s Real Madrid.’” Daniel Riolo added: “I get the feeling that something is not right in his head.” José Mourinho, for his part, criticised the player’s cycling: “Unfortunately, a footballer can’t ride a bike.”

Gilles Joinau, editor of Foot International, reminded that every move by Mbappé is examined under a microscope, which fuels the controversy surrounding the French captain.

French journalists are questioning the Frenchman's future at the club, mentioning the possibility of a departure at the end of the season. Some believe the player could lose the supporters’ affection if the tensions persist.

This Monday, Mbappé returned to training a day earlier than scheduled, with individual work both with and without the ball, thus showing his willingness to meet the Casa Blanca’s expectations.
