Real Madrid announced on Saturday that France captain Kylian Mbappe has suffered a hyperextension of his left knee while representing his country in a recent match. The club's medical department performed tests on the forward, confirming the diagnosis. Mbappe left the pitch immediately following his team's opening goal in a 1-0 victory against Turkey.
New France coach, Zinedine Zidane, declared that the team will not take any risks and will not utilize Mbappe in the three upcoming Nations League matches scheduled within the next ten days. France is set to play against Belgium on Monday, with additional matches against Italy and Belgium at the Stade de France on October 2 and 5.
Real Madrid's next game, scheduled for October 10 against Villarreal, may be too soon for Mbappe's return, but according to a French newspaper, AS, he is likely to be fit for the Clasico against Barcelona on October 25.
