  "account": "Kylian Mbappe, the captain of France and a forward for Real Madrid, sustained a knee injury during a recent match for his national team. The incident occurred on Friday when Mbappe left the pitch shortly after opening the scoring in a 1-0 victory against Turkey. Real Madrid's medical department has diagnosed the injury as a hyperextension of the posterior capsule in Mbappe's left knee. The severity of the injury suggests that he may be sidelined for two weeks or more. France's new coach, Zinedine Zidane, has decided not to take any risks and has ruled out using Mbappe in the upcoming Nations League matches scheduled over the next ten days. Real Madrid's next game after the international break is against Villarreal on October 10, which may be too soon for an Mbappe return. However, according to Spanish daily AS, Mbappe could be ready to play again when La Liga resumes, potentially for the El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25.",
