Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has admitted that he doesn’t know when Kylian Mbappé will return. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, while the club is currently working hard to have the star forward back from injury as soon as possible, he cannot reveal any exact date for his return.
Alonso concluded by denying that it was difficult to tell a player like Mbappé that he needed to rest.
His words, “We’re going to push to keep the time down.
It’s about feelings. We’ll do everything possible to make [his absence] as short as possible, so he can be ready as soon as possible. But when is that? That’s the question, I don’t know.
In every game we make an assessment, based on how the player feels, and we take decisions based on the necessities of the game. Now we’ll see. We’ll do everything we can to have him back as soon as possible.
No, managing players who always want to help the team is easy, managing players who are ambitious and always want to win is easy. After that it’s my job to take decisions, I accept that.”
WOW.
