Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is not planning to undergo knee surgery due to his desire to play in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to AS.
According to the publication, the French forward has been experiencing problems with his knee ligaments since December 2025. Mbappe previously missed the second leg of the Champions League play-off stage against Benfica (2:1). However, the forward does not want to undergo surgery, as this could jeopardize his participation in the World Cup. He is opting for conservative treatment.
