Real Madrid insiders fear Kylian Mbappe does not want to play at the Santiago Bernabeu again this season amid growing tensions behind the scenes at the Spanish giants.The France international was absent on Sunday night as Real Madrid Los Blancos suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat to FC Barcelona at the Nou Camp, a result that confirmed Hansi Flick's men as LaLiga champions for a second consecutive year.The 27-year-old watched the match from home in Madrid and posted a message of support on Instagram during the game.However, the timing of the post drew criticism from some supporters because Real were already trailing by two goals when he uploaded it.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayAccording to The Athletic, some figures within the club believe Mbappe would prefer to avoid appearing in any of Real's remaining home fixtures after being jeered by sections of the Bernabeu crowd on more than one occasion.The France international has not played since the 1-1 draw with Real Betis Balompi on April 24, when he was substituted after reporting discomfort in his hamstring.Although he has resumed training, uncertainty remains over when he will return to action.There was previously optimism within the club last week that Mbappe would be available for El Clasico after taking part in Saturday's final training session.But he was ultimately omitted from the squad after experiencing further discomfort.That late setback is said to have added to frustrations among some members of the coaching and support staff, who reportedly felt there was a lack of clarity over his condition.LATEST SPORTS NEWS:Rory McIlroy's concerns eased as PGA Championship creeps closerJamie Carragher lays into Tottenham star for 'ridiculous' decision which cost his side in Leeds drawGerwyn Price sparks Darts World Cup confusion with social media health updateIt has also emerged that Mbappe was involved in a disagreement with a member of the coaching staff during the build-up to the Betis match, contributing to what has been described as a strained atmosphere at the training ground.Mbappe's representatives have, however, strongly rejected suggestions that his commitment has waned.In a statement, his camp said: "A portion of the criticism is based on an over-interpretation of elements related to a recovery period strictly supervised by the club, and does not reflect the reality of Kylian's commitment and daily work for the team."Real still have three LaLiga fixtures remaining, including home matches against Real Oviedo and Athletic Club.Whether Mbappe features in either of those games remains uncertain.Manager Alvaro Arbeloa offered no firm timetable following Sunday's defeat."There are two weeks left and depending on how his discomfort evolves, we will see whether he can play," he said."I would have liked him to be at 100 per cent and to be able to start."Mbappe has scored 41 goals for Real this season. Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with a move in recent days, though it will take a sizeable fee to lure him away from Spain. Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter

Has LeBron James taken his final bow as an NBA superstar? Back in January, the odds that King James would retire before the beginning of the 2026-27 season were slightly longer than the odds that he would give it another go. And now that James and his Lakers have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs, bettors are diving into the odds for where LeBron could land next.

Then came the postseason. Even though bettors were skeptical about the Lakers when it came to their playoff futures, they secured the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference and defeated Houston 4-2 in the first round. However, Los Angeles got bounced by Oklahoma City in the conference semifinals, 4-0. Even if the Lakers' second-round exit ends up being James' curtain call, the imprint he's left on the league in his more than 20 years has been immeasurable. He's played for the Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers, winning titles with each franchise. He won Rookie of the Year, has four regular-season MVPs and is a 22-time All-Star. Additionally, the King has four Finals MVPs and has averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 boards and 7.4 assists over the course of his career.
