Mbappe escaped serious knee injury

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe, who was injured in the match of the French national team, was diagnosed with an overextension of the rear capsule of the left knee joint. This is reported on the website of the Spanish club.

AS says the player's recovery will take ten to 12 days. Thus, the forward will be able to take part in the first El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25.

Mbappe was injured the day before in a game against Turkey (1-0) in the Nations League. The forward scored the only goal in the 54th minute. During the celebration, the French captain grabbed his knee and was soon replaced.

Head coach Zinedine Zidane, for whom this was the first match with the team, said that Mbappe “not very well”.

The press service of the French national team reported that the striker will miss the remaining matches within the current international pause and return to the location of Real Madrid.
