France is afraid… Kylian Mbappé “injured in the left leg” less than two months before the World Cup


The Real Madrid press release is short, very short. Less than three lines which make all French supporters shiver less than two months before the start of the World Cup in Canada, the United States and Mexico, while the Blues have already lost Hugo Ekitike. Out with an injury on Friday during the match against Betis in Seville, Kylian Mbappé is very unwell.

“Following the examinations taken today (this Monday) by Kylian Mbappé with the Real Madrid medical service, an injury to the semi-tendinosus muscle of the left leg (at the hamstring level) was diagnosed, indicates the White House in its press release. His recovery will be closely monitored. »

Left the field grimacing

At the heart of a complicated season, where Real Madrid will not win any trophies, Kylian Mbappé was not present during Betis’ equalizing goal (1-1) in stoppage time, because he had requested a change from his coach Alvaro Arbeloa in the 80th minute after stopping his run. The captain of the French team had no apparent injury and had not received a blow, but he left the field grimacing.

Asked about the nature of his player’s injury, Real coach Alvaro Arbeloa said at a press conference: “I don’t know, he was in pain, and we hope that it will improve for the better in the coming days. »

According to the Madrid press, this injury should not keep Mbappé off the field for long. If the former Paris Saint-Germain scorer is not expected to play against Espanyol on Sunday, he could be present for the Clasico against Barça in two weeks.
