Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is reportedly insisting that he does not want to return to action until fully fit following a knee injury, meaning the France international could be absent for Los Blancos' match at home to Levante in La Liga this Sunday.

With his latest strike, Mbappé became the second-fastest player in the 21st century to reach 50 goals in the Spanish top flight (53 appearances) behind none other than Cristiano Ronaldo (51).

Arbeloa will take charge of his first match as Real Madrid head coach against Albacete in the Copa del Rey. Kylian Mbappé was not included in the squad.
