Real Madrid announced on Wednesday that Kylian Mbappé will be out of action due to a hamstring injury. The club’s medical services conducted tests on Mbappé, revealing an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. The team stated that his recovery progress will be closely monitored.
The exact duration of Mbappé’s absence was not disclosed by Real Madrid, but it is confirmed that he will miss the upcoming derby against Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league. Furthermore, there is a possibility that he could miss out on representing France in the Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium on October 10 and October 14, respectively.
The diagnosis of Mbappé’s injury occurred after Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory against Alaves in the Spanish league on Tuesday, a game where Mbappé marked his seventh goal since joining the club this season. The player requested to be substituted in the 80th minute of the match, with Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti initially downplaying the severity of the injury.
Currently, Kylian Mbappé has netted five goals in La Liga, trailing behind the league’s top scorer, Robert Lewandowski of Barcelona.
This news adds a setback to both Real Madrid and the French national team, as they will have to navigate upcoming fixtures without the influential presence of the talented forward. Fans and teammates will be eagerly waiting for updates on his recovery and return to the field.
