Kylian Mbappé, who suffered a thigh injury against Alavés in the Spanish league on Tuesday night, is indeed injured. The length of his unavailability is worrying…
It’s confirmed. After a victory (3-2) against Alavés in La Liga this Tuesday evening, and a superb goal concluding an impressive move with Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé is indeed injured in the thigh, Real Madrid indicated this Wednesday. The former PSG striker would be out for several weeks, several press titles indicate this afternoon. “After the tests carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappé by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris of the left leg. Evolution pending”, the Spanish club was content to write for its part in a press release laconic.
Kylian Mabappé will undergo a series of additional tests to better understand his injury, his treatment and the length of his absence. Marca and other Spanish media outlets are saying that Kylian Mbappé will miss at least three weeks or even a month of competition. The captain of the French team will therefore be absent from the derby against Antoine Griezmann’s Atlético de Madrid, Real’s next clash in La Liga. He will also miss the match against Villarreal, but also and above all the Champions League clash against Lille, scheduled for October 2 at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.
A big blow and a great missed opportunity for Mbappé since his brother Ethan Mbappé joined LOSC at the start of the season and is a luxury joker. Already a starter (against Angers in particular) in Ligue 1, Kylian Mbappé’s younger brother was lined up for a few minutes in the Northerners’ first European match against Prague in the C1 play-offs at the end of August, before also injuring an adductor. Although he was not lined up against Sporting Portugal last week, a match that ended in defeat (2-0), Ethan Mbappé did, however, return to training on Tuesday, which gave hope for a few minutes of play against his big brother and Real on October 2… Kylian Mbappé should also miss the gathering of the Blues for the continuation of the League of Nations against Israel and Belgium on October 10 and 14.
