Mbappe diagnosed with knee hyperextension, say Real Madrid
LONDON: France forward Kylian Mbappe has suffered hyperextension of the left knee, his club Real Madrid said on Saturday.
Real Madrid has diagnosed France forward Kylian Mbappe with hyperextension of the left knee, the club announced on Saturday. The 27-year-old captain left the national team after scoring the winning goal in Friday's 1-0 Nations League victory over Turkiye, but had to be substituted shortly thereafter. Mbappe was briefly back on the pitch but went down again moments later, leading to his replacement by France coach Zinedine Zidane in the 58th minute of his first game in charge.
Following a series of tests conducted by Real Madrid's medical staff, Mbappe's condition was confirmed as a hyperextension of the posterior capsule in his left knee. The French Football Federation had initially reported the injury as a knee tendon injury. Real Madrid is set to host Villarreal in LaLiga on October 10.
