Real Madrid has confirmed that Ibrahima Konate will be out of action due to an injury in his right knee. The defender was forced to withdraw from France’s squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches, including games against Türkiye, Belgium (twice), and Italy. Konate's injury occurred during training and was assessed at Valdebebas.
Real Madrid's official medical report revealed that the injury is to the collateral ligament of his right leg, and Konate is expected to undergo rehabilitation during the remainder of the international break. According to Diario AS reporter Sergio Lopez, the injury is considered minor, with Konate likely to miss only a maximum of two weeks.
This means he could be available for Real Madrid's first match following the break, which is against Villarreal at the Bernabeu. The return of Konate is crucial for Real Madrid, as midfielder Dean Huijsen is suspended following his red card against Atletico Madrid.
