Mbappé marca con Francia y se lesiona en su rodilla izquierda

Kylian Mbappé, a striker for Madrid and a contender for the Ballon d'Or, suffered an injury during the match between Turkey and France in the first round of the Nations League. Zinedine Zidane took his first steps as the French national team's coach in this game. The striker expressed discomfort in his left knee and had to be substituted, showing significant pain.

Alarm bells rang over Mbappé's physical condition, but his performance was undeniable. He scored the first goal of France with a powerful shot driven by his right foot, making the score 0-1. Despite his goal, Mbappé fell to the ground in the 54th minute and was substituted in the 59th minute by his teammate Doué. The French star had previously experienced issues with the same knee during the previous season.

Mbappé will undergo further tests in the coming hours to determine if he will remain with his national team or return to Madrid. This is the second injury suffered by a French international for Real Madrid in recent days, following Ibrahima Konaté, who returned to Spain's capital on Thursday with a mild hamstring strain. Konaté is expected to play against Villarreal after sitting out the match.
