Real Madrid have confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will be sidelined after suffering a “biceps femoris” injury to his left leg in the club’s 3-2 win against Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday.
Speaking after the game, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said: “He’s fine – a little overloaded. He asked me for the change to avoid problems.”
In an update on Wednesday, Madrid said that “following tests” the 25-year-old “has been diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg” and “his progress will be monitored”.
Real Madrid are away in a league match at Atletico Madrid on Sunday and then play Lille in the Champions League and Villarreal in the Spanish top flight prior to the October international break.
Mbappe had scored six goals in seven games for the Bernabeu club before sustaining his injury.
