Real Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa has dismissed recent claims about Kylian Mbappé experiencing knee problems, calling the reports “absolutely false information.”
Speculation had circulated in recent days suggesting that the French forward was dealing with a knee issue that might affect his performances.
Arbeloa, however, insisted that these rumours are misleading and encouraged attention to remain on Mbappé’s contributions on the pitch.
According to a post by Fabrizio Romano on X on Friday, Arbeloa said, “What Kylian has said these days… it is absolutely false information,” stressing that the speculation does not reflect the reality of the situation.

The former Madrid defender added that Mbappé should now leave any concerns about his knee behind and focus fully on his objectives, highlighting the importance of both mental and physical concentration for top-level performance.
Mbappe continues to play a central role for both Real Madrid and the French national team, with attention on upcoming domestic and international competitions.
Arbeloa also provided updates on midfielder Jude Bellingham, explaining that his recent limited playing time is “a little particular.”
Bellingham featured only briefly against Atlético Madrid because manager Thomas Tuchel chose to avoid taking risks.
“Jude is smart enough to have done good training sessions. And he’s ready to help tomorrow,” Arbeloa said, signaling confidence in the midfielder’s readiness for upcoming fixtures.
