Kylian Mbappe has returned to Madrid to continue recovering from a left-knee problem, BongdaPlus reports, citing El Chiringuito. He did not take part in the team session described in the report and was expected to continue his individual programme at Valdebebas. The article suggests he could be available to face Villarreal on October 10 if his recovery progresses well. A return to Madrid is therefore a step in rehabilitation, with match availability still dependent on his response and the club's assessment.
