Real Madrid have received a major injury scare after Kylian Mbappé picked up a problem with his left knee while on international duty with France. 😰🚑
Mbappé had just produced the moment France needed, scoring the winning goal in the 1️⃣-0️⃣ victory over Türkiye, before the night suddenly turned worrying. The superstar appeared to hurt himself while taking the shot and was later forced off after struggling with discomfort. 🇫🇷⚽️
The French Football Federation confirmed that Mbappé suffered a tendon injury in his left knee, the same knee that caused him problems during the previous season. He has now returned to Madrid for further assessment and treatment.
But there is a huge positive for Madrid fans… 👀🔥
The latest reports indicate that Mbappé could be sidelined for roughly two weeks, rather than facing a lengthy absence. That would put him in a strong position to return before one of the biggest fixtures of the season.
And what fixture is waiting for him?
EL CLÁSICO! 😱🔥
Barcelona and Real Madrid are scheduled to meet on October 25, meaning there is still significant time for Mbappé to recover before the blockbuster encounter.
However, Madrid will not want to take unnecessary risks. The same left knee had already caused Mbappé problems last season, making his recovery something the club will monitor extremely carefully.
For now, Mbappé will miss the remainder of France’s current international fixtures, while Real Madrid’s medical team focuses on getting their superstar fully fit. 🇫🇷➡️🇪🇸
And suddenly, the countdown to Barça vs Madrid has become even more dramatic… 👀🔥
Mbappé injured. Lamine Yamal waiting. El Clásico approaching.
October 25 is already looking SPICY! 🥶🔥🔵🔴⚪️
