Kylian Mbappé responded to criticism regarding his commitment to recovering from a left hamstring injury. The injury jeopardizes his participation in Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona.
Reports surfaced that Mbappé traveled to Italy with actress Ester Expósito last weekend. Spanish media questioned if the trip was detracting from his rehabilitation. Real Madrid fans expressed concern over his absence with the Clasico approaching.
Mbappé representatives issued a statement denying any misconduct. The statement said the criticisms misrepresented his commitment and daily rehabilitation efforts, which the club strictly supervises.
Real Madrid has been eliminated from Champions League and Copa del Rey contention this season. Trailing Barcelona by 11 points with four La Liga rounds remaining, their chances of winning La Liga are slim. Barcelona could clinch the title on Sunday.
Real Madrid has not confirmed Mbappé's availability for the Clasico. Spanish media reported that Mbappé visited Madrid’s training center on a day off to continue his recovery.
