Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé is set to miss some matches due to a thigh injury. The talented French international, who made headlines by joining the Spanish club this summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, had a promising performance, scoring in the team’s recent 3-2 victory over Deportivo Alavés before being substituted in the 80th minute.

After the match, Real Madrid’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, provided a brief update, stating, “He’s fine – a little overloaded. He asked me for the change to avoid problems.” However, further tests on Wednesday revealed that the 25-year-old has suffered an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg, and his recovery will be closely monitored.

Real Madrid’s upcoming schedule includes a crucial league match against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, followed by a Champions League clash with Lille and a La Liga game against Villarreal before the international break in October.

Before his injury, Mbappé had an impressive start with Real Madrid, netting six goals in just seven appearances. The team will certainly feel his absence as they navigate these important fixtures.
