Kylian Mbappé is expected to spend time away from the pitch after sustaining a knee ligament injury, as reported by L’Équipe. Medical tests have ruled out an ACL tear, but scans confirmed damage to an external knee ligament that will require rest and ongoing treatment.
The Real Madrid forward is anticipated to be sidelined for a minimum of three weeks, a period that will see him miss the Spanish Super Cup as well as Madrid’s final two Champions League fixtures in the league phase. His absence comes at a critical point in the season, with key competitions approaching.
According to the report, Mbappé had continued to play despite discomfort in recent matches, believing the issue was minor. However, he later noticed a reduction in his acceleration and overall sharpness, prompting further medical assessment.
Real Madrid are said to be increasingly concerned by the situation, having become heavily reliant on the French international’s goals and influence in attack. His recovery timeline will now be closely monitored as the club looks to manage without one of its most decisive players.
