Kylian Mbappé Expected to Miss Three Weeks with Thigh Injury
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is set to miss approximately three weeks due to a thigh injury, as reported by ESPN. This unfortunate development sidelines the 25-year-old talent for several key matches, including this weekend’s highly anticipated derby against Atlético Madrid.
The injury occurred during Tuesday night’s La Liga match against Alavés, where Mbappé was substituted in the 80th minute after scoring to give his team a 2-0 lead. He expressed discomfort in his left leg shortly before being taken off the pitch.
In a statement released today, Real Madrid confirmed that after undergoing tests by their medical staff, Mbappé has been diagnosed with an injury to the femoral biceps of his left leg. As a result, he is expected to miss upcoming fixtures, including crucial Champions League and La Liga matches against Lille and Villarreal, respectively. Additionally, he will not participate in the upcoming international break with the French national team.
This injury presents a significant challenge for Real Madrid as they navigate a demanding schedule. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts in Mbappé’s absence.

Inter Miami, led by Messi, were unable to secure a victory against Al Ahly in their initial match.
Inter Miami and Al Ahly played to a scoreless draw in the opening match of the 2025 Club World Cup. The match, held at Hard Rock Stadium, saw Al Ahly begin strongly, but Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, proved to be a formidable barrier. Ustari notably saved Trezeguet’s first-half penalty, denying the Egyptian side an early lead. Lionel Messi showed flashes of brilliance in the second half, but Al Ahly’s goalkeeper, El Shenawy, thwarted Inter Miami’s attempts to score. Both teams will continue their Club World Cup campaign on June 19, with Inter Miami facing Porto and Al Ahly playing against Palmeiras.
Recent reports from within Galatasaray, courtesy of Ali Naci Küçük, shed light on the conditions set by Victor Osimhen regarding his potential continued presence at the club. Apparently, Osimhen seeks assurance of a strengthened squad, exemplified by the acquisition of high-caliber players.
Küçük revealed that the recent signing of Leroy Sané from Bayern Munich was, in fact, a strategic move to satisfy Osimhen’s demands. Sané’s imminent arrival, on a 3-year deal, underscores Galatasaray’s ambition to build a competitive team. The club has reportedly offered Osimhen a substantial €14 million salary, inclusive of bonuses, as they endeavor to retain the prolific striker who previously scored 37 goals in 41 appearances during a loan spell.
Osimhen, however, remains deliberate in his decision-making process, urging patience. Galatasaray’s management is seemingly amenable to Osimhen’s requests, acknowledging the necessity of a strong team to secure his commitment.
