Kylian Mbappe will be sidelined for approximately three weeks due to a leg injury sustained during Real Madrid’s victory over Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday night.
The striker found the back of the net for the second time in a 3-2 triumph at the Santiago Bernabeu before being forced off the field due to discomfort in his left leg.
Initial hopes that the injury was minor and wouldn’t lead to any missed matches have been dashed, as it appears more serious than initially believed.
A statement released by Madrid on Wednesday stated: “Following assessments conducted today by Real Madrid’s Medical Services on our player Kylian Mbappe, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. His recovery progress will be closely monitored.”
According to The Athletic, Mbappe is expected to miss three weeks of action before he can make a return to the pitch.
This means that he will be unavailable for the highly anticipated derby against Atletico Madrid this Sunday. Madrid will then face Lille in the UEFA Champions League on October 1, followed by a match against Villarreal before the international break.
Upon his return, Madrid will hope to have Mbappe back in action for matches against Celta Vigo (October 19), Borussia Dortmund (October 22), and their El Clasico clash with Barcelona (October 26).
Mbappe joins a growing list of injured Madrid players this season, including Brahim Diaz, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga, and David Alaba, while Jude Bellingham has recently returned to fitness.
Additionally, France will also be without Mbappe for their upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures against Israel and Belgium in October.
