New claims have emerged from the Spanish press regarding the condition of Kylian Mbappe, who was injured during the UEFA Nations League match played between the Turkish National Football Team and France in Kocaeli. According to a report by AS, the French star, who felt pain in his left knee after scoring a goal in the match, showed no signs of a serious injury during medical checks.
The report stated that Mbappe suffered a hyperextension in the posterior capsule of his left knee and that the star footballer is expected to be sidelined for approximately 10 to 12 days. It was reported that Real Madrid is in direct contact with the French Football Federation's medical team.
NO SURGERY REQUIRED
It was noted that while the possibility of surgery initially caused concern within the club, it was concluded after examinations that no surgical intervention was necessary. It was recorded that Mbappe has begun his rehabilitation process and his condition is being closely monitored.
The AS report emphasized that if Mbappe had continued to play despite the pain, he could have faced a more serious injury. It was assessed that not risking the French player prevented a longer-term problem.
Due to the team's busy schedule, Mbappe's return timeline will also be carefully planned. The report suggested that head coach Jose Mourinho is considering the possibility of not risking his player before the Villarreal match on October 10.
It was stated that alternative plans for the attacking line might be on the agenda as Real Madrid is set to play against Roma on October 14 and in El Clasico on October 25 following the Villarreal match. Mbappe's return to the pitch is expected to be clarified based on the report to be provided by the medical team.
