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.
