Los Blancos have reportedly spoken in support of Kylian Mbappe amid rape allegations.
Real Madrid have reportedly dismissed the notion that they are distancing themselves from Kylian Mbappe after rape allegations stemmed from a location the French international was at in Sweden.
Mbappe was conspicuously omitted from Los Blancos ‘Artist Pack’ collection promotional image, which raised eyebrows, but they have reportedly dispelled all suggestions that the omission was related to the allegations, as they believe the news reports to be bogus and designed to damage the French international’s reputation.

What happened
A news report from Sweden's Aftonbladet stated that the police were investigating a rape incident that was alleged to have occurred at the Bank Hotel, where Mbappe stayed during his visit to Stockholm last week.
Swedish publication Expressen named the Real Madrid star as having been investigated for the crime. The 25-year-old has since debunked all such reports as fake news. He suggested that the reports were orchestrated, as his hearing with PSG over unpaid wages was coming up.
An update of the report has, however, cleared Mbappe's name, as it revealed that the Frenchman was not the suspect being investigated by the prosecutor.

Real Madrid back Mbappe
Yesterday, the Los Blancos shared a promotional image and fans noticed Mbappe was edited out, as Jude Bellingham had posted the unedited version that included Mbappe.
It sparked rumours that the omission was due to the rape allegations; however, GFFN reports that a source from Real Madrid told them the club paid no mind to it.
Although unconfirmed, it is believed that Mbappe's omission was imposed by Nike, who did not want their star ambassador participating in a promotion associated with Adidas, Real Madrid's kit sponsor. However, Camavinga, another Nike athlete, was in the edited promotional image.
