Madrid’s Mbappe fit and ready to play every game before World Cup

France striker Kylian Mbappe says he has fully recovered from a knee injury ​and wants to play all of Real ‌Madrid’s remaining matches in the season run-in as he builds toward the World Cup.

The 27-year-old missed four ​league games in 2026 due to ​a lingering knee issue from last season ⁠but featured off the bench in the ​64th minute of Madrid’s 3-2 win over Atletico ​on Sunday.

Mbappe has been named in France’s squad for friendlies against Brazil on March 26 and Colombia ​three days later in the United States, ​which is co-hosting the June 11-July 19 World Cup with ‌Canada ⁠and Mexico.

“I have made a 100% recovery,” Mbappe told AS.

“I prepared for the last two World Cups in the best way possible, ​which is ​to play, ⁠score goals, win titles, and fight until the last minute for ​my club, and this year I ​am ⁠going to do the same to arrive in top form.”

France will play in Group I at ⁠the ​World Cup with Norway, ​Senegal and the winner of an intercontinental playoff.
