Kylian Mbappé Sidelined with Thigh Injury, Real Madrid Confirms
The star forward is expected to miss 10 days, including key matches in La Liga and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final.
- Real Madrid confirmed Kylian Mbappé sustained a left thigh injury during Tuesday's Champions League match against Atalanta, where he was substituted in the 35th minute.
- Sources indicate Mbappé is expected to be out for approximately 10 days, ruling him out of Saturday's La Liga clash with Rayo Vallecano and likely the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final on December 18.
- The injury comes after Mbappé's standout performance in the Atalanta match, where he scored his 50th career Champions League goal and helped secure a 3-2 victory.
- Real Madrid has not specified a recovery timeline, stating that his progress will be monitored, but reports suggest the club will avoid rushing his return to prevent further complications.
- Mbappé has faced criticism for inconsistent performances this season but recently showed signs of improvement, scoring key goals in consecutive matches before the injury setback.
