Mbappe’s representatives said he was in the French capital with members of the Real Madrid medical staff.

“In agreement with the club, he is undergoing further tests on his knee with the aim of optimising his follow-up care and preparing for his comeback,” said a statement.

“No surgical intervention is being planned at the moment.”

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa said last week the decision to allow Mbappe, who has scored 38 goals in 33 appearances for the club this season, time to get back to full fitness was a mutual one.

“It was a bit of a consensus between everyone and we think the best thing is that he stops, that he recovers and comes back at 100%,” Arbeloa said.

“It’s not going to be a question of days, it will be a bit longer, but I can’t say how long. Hopefully not too long.”
