Real Madrid has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe, the France national team captain, has suffered a hyperextension of the left knee, the club announced on Saturday. Mbappe withdrew from the match after scoring the decisive goal in France's 1-0 Nations League win over Turkiye on Friday. The 27-year-old received treatment on the pitch and briefly returned to play, but had to leave the field again shortly after and was substituted in the 58th minute of his initial appearance under new coach Zinedine Zidane.
Real Madrid's medical team conducted tests on Mbappe, which diagnosed the injury as a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of his left knee. Initially, the French Football Federation had reported a knee tendon injury, but Mbappe sought further evaluation in Madrid. The next fixture for Real Madrid is against Villarreal in LaLiga on October 10th.
