Real Madrid player, Kylian Mbappé, has shared a glimpse of his time away from the pitch as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.
The French footballer recently posted images and videos on Instagram showing moments from his break, including a cycling session in Switzerland and other activities during his time away from Madrid.
Mbappé suffered a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of his left knee during France’s 1-0 Nations League win over Turkey on September 25.
Real Madrid later confirmed the diagnosis and said his recovery would be monitored.
His time away generated discussion among some Real Madrid supporters, particularly after he was seen cycling while recovering from the injury.
However, reports indicate that his days away from the club were approved as part of his recovery plan.
Mbappé returned to Real Madrid’s training ground on October 5, where he completed an individual session involving work inside the facilities and on the pitch, with and without the ball.
The club said he was continuing his recovery with the aim of being available for the upcoming La Liga match against Villarreal.
Mbappé’s Instagram posts offer a look at how he has been spending part of his recovery period as he works towards returning to competitive action.
