Mbappé suffered a knee injury and was sidelined
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé sustained a left leg injury during a 1-1 draw against Real Betis, forcing him to request a substitution in the closing minutes. While initial ultrasound results suggest the muscle damage may be less severe than feared, a definitive diagnosis is expected following an MRI scan on Monday. The injury likely rules him out of the upcoming match against Espanyol and casts doubt on his availability for the crucial clash against Barcelona on May 10.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé suffered an injury in the match against Real Betis and left the pitch. In the final minutes of the match, which ended 1:1, the French star asked for a substitution due to pain in his left leg. Goal.com reports.
The initial medical examination results look somewhat hopeful. As journalist Sergi Quirante reports, an ultrasound examination showed that the muscle injury is lighter than expected.
However, the final diagnosis will become known after the MRI examination on Monday.
This injury has come at an extremely inconvenient time for the Madrid club. On May 10, the team is to play an important match against Barcelona.
Also, fans of the French national team have been alarmed ahead of the summer World Cup in North America.
Head coach Álvaro Arbeloa was unable to name precise timelines for the player's recovery. According to him, Mbappé went straight to the dressing room after the match and the decision will be made depending on his condition in the coming days.
For now, it is almost certain that Mbappé will not play in the match on May 3 against Espanyol. Club doctors are using every possibility to prepare the forward for the decisive part of the season and the international tournament.
