Kylian Mbappe missed training for the second day in a row, shocking Real Madrid with a new injury concern.
The Frenchman is dealing with persistent knee pain prior to Saturday’s match against Real Sociedad.
Manager Alvaro Arbeloa is anxiously waiting to see if the team’s star man will be able to lead the line in the capital as they prepare for a crucial Champions League matchup against Benfica.
Having now trained away from his teammates for two days in a row, restricted to the gym instead of taking part in tactical drills on the grass, Mbappe has been conspicuously absent from the first-team squad.

The fan base is shocked by the news, especially considering how important the upcoming fixture schedule is.
Mbappe Dealing With A Knee Issue
Sport reports that the attacker is dealing with ongoing pain in his left knee. His incapacity to train just 48 hours prior to a game indicates that the problem is being handled with serious care, even though the club have not yet made public an official medical report describing a specific tear or strain.
The medical staff naturally treats any knee joint condition with extra caution because the Mbappe’s game depends so largely on rapid movement and pace.
Arbeloa, who wants to keep up the pressure at the top of the table, is currently dealing with a serious selection dilemma as he gets ready for one of the most challenging home games of the season.
