Kylian Mbappé Out at Least Three Weeks With Knee Ligament Injury

An MRI showed an external ligament lesion rather than an ACL tear.

Overview

  • The injury occurred during Wednesday training, according to reporting from L’Equipe relayed by Yahoo Sports and Goal.
  • The timeline rules him out of the Spanish Super Cup and Real Madrid’s final two Champions League group-stage matches.
  • Reports say he had been playing through knee pain in recent games and felt he could not reach top speed.
  • Real Madrid are described as concerned given how central his output has been to the attack this season.
  • Recovery could take longer than three weeks depending on how he responds to treatment, per the reports.
