Overview
- Cadena SER and Carrusel report Mbappé faces roughly three weeks out, which would sideline him for the March 11 Bernabéu opener against Manchester City.
- Jude Bellingham picked up an injury at the start of the Rayo Vallecano match and is initially expected to be unavailable for the first leg.
- Álvaro Arbeloa declined to provide a timetable, saying it is not his place to set recovery times.
- Mbappé’s knee issue has persisted for more than two months, and Real Madrid have opted for rest and non-surgical treatment.
- If the reported timeframe holds, Mbappé would also miss La Liga fixtures against Getafe, Celta Vigo and Elche.
