France Striker’s Injury Concerns Amid World Cup Focus

The French forward is currently out of action due to a knee injury, with some reports from Spain suggesting that his priority may be more about regaining fitness for the World Cup than contributing to Real Madrid’s title ambitions.

Arbeloa’s View on Player Commitment

Ahead of the upcoming match against Getafe, Arbeloa expressed his sentiments: “I never understood anything other than committing entirely to my club. When representing the national squad, it was all about giving my all for my country. It’s perplexing to see players who hold back, avoid challenges, or are preoccupied with concerns about injuries instead of focusing solely on performing for Real Madrid.”

He further emphasized, “The best preparation is to play well for your team. That’s the expectation I have for our players.”

Update on Mbappe’s Condition

Regarding Mbappe’s situation, Arbeloa commented, “We are fully aware of what he is dealing with. Our aim is for him to heal from this discomfort and return with full confidence.”

“Progress will be assessed on a daily basis. It’s essential to gauge how he feels, and for now, it’s best not to impose any deadlines; we will make decisions based on his condition.”
