Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe is set to be on the sidelines for three weeks after sustaining a thigh injury in also Blancos’ 3-2 victory over Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday night.
“Following the tests carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappe by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the femoral biceps of his left leg. Pending evolution,” the statement from the club read.
At first, it was said that the French superstar would be available to play Atletico Madrid later this weekend and that the issue was only an overload.
But it’s official now that Mbappe has sustained an injury that will keep him out of action for a considerable amount of time.
Journalist Mario Cortegana has learned that Mbappe is expected to miss three weeks of action due to club sources.
This implies that Mbappe will now miss this weekend’s derby against Atletico Madrid, as well as Lille’s match in the UEFA Champions League and Villarreal’s match in La Liga before the international break.
The 25-year-old will make his comeback against Celta Vigo on October 19 following the break, if all goes as planned.
