Former Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster has insisted it will take time and adjustment from "the whole team" before Kylian Mbappe reaches his best form.

Mbappe is Real Madrid's top scorer this season but the summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain has still come under some criticism. However, Schuster believes that a player as talented as Mbappe will always come good and that the entire Real team needs to change to get the best out of the French star.

Real themselves have had a difficult start to the season, having lost their 36-match unbeaten run in all competitions to Lille in the Champions League, with manager Carlo Ancelotti admitting the loss left him "worried".

Ancelotti's side are still undefeated in La Liga this season but their performances are yet to match the highs of the previous campaign, with Real sitting three points behind leaders Barcelona in the table.

"Sometimes people like him come in with a lot of quality," Schuster told MARCA. "Normally it's easier for them, but sometimes it's a bit difficult. I think it's a question of matches. He knows what he has to do, it's a question of time. The whole team has to change a bit, not just him."

Having been left out of France's squad for this week's international break, Mbappe has continued to rehabilitate from his recent injury, although the 25-year-old was spotted at a night club during his time off.

However, the forward is expected to be fit and ready to feature in Real's next game against Celta Vigo next Saturday.
