Mbappe out for two weeks or more with knee injury, say Real
Real Madrid say the France captain has suffered a hyperextension of his left knee.
Kylian Mbappe left the pitch after scoring the opening goal in France's 1-0 win over Turkey on Friday. Following a medical examination by Real Madrid's medical team, the French national team and their club have confirmed Mbappe suffered a hyperextension of his left knee. The injury occurred during the match. Real Madrid's statement revealed Mbappe could return to action once the La Liga season resumes, indicating a two-week or longer recovery period.
New France coach Zinedine Zidane has decided not to risk using Mbappe in the three upcoming Nations League matches scheduled within the next ten days, which include games against Belgium on Monday, Italy on October 2, and Belgium again on October 5 at the Stade de France. Real Madrid's next match following the international break is scheduled for October 10 against Villarreal.
Speculation from Spanish daily AS suggests Mbappe might be fit for the highly anticipated El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25, but official confirmation is yet to be announced.
