Mbappé Knee Injury Update
Real Madrid Confirms Kylian Mbappé Avoids Serious Injury After Knee Hyperextension
Anonymous
Real Madrid confirmed that Kylian Mbappé hyperextended the posterior capsule of his left knee while scoring France’s winning goal in a 1-0 Nations League victory over Türkiye. He briefly continued before leaving in the 59th minute and withdrew from France’s remaining international fixtures. The club has not specified a recovery timeline, though one report estimates he could be out for around two weeks. The diagnosis eased initial fears of a serious injury, and his availability for Real Madrid’s late-October Clásico is not currently considered at risk.
