This has led to conspiracy theories that Mbappé was not actually injured and simply chose to take time off during the season, but the 27-year-old has slammed these claims and insists he was given permission to take time off.

As quoted and translated by Football Espana, Mbappé had something interesting to say in the Mixed Zone last night about the rather crazy situation with Madrid fans at the moment.
Mbappe said: “It’s a shame that I can’t play in El Clasico, which is my favorite game because I always score. It was a shame. But the whistle… it’s life. You can’t change the opinion of angry people.”
“This is their way of expressing their opinion and should not be taken personally. I have been whistled at many times in my career. This is the life of a Real Madrid player, especially a celebrity like me.”
