The defender was forced to withdraw from France’s squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League matches, including games against Türkiye, Belgium (twice), and Italy. Konate's injury occurred during training and was assessed at Valdebebas. Real Madrid's official medical report revealed that the injury is to the collateral ligament of his right leg, and Konate is expected to undergo rehabilitation during the remainder of the international break.
