Problem for Real Madrid! Kylian Mbappé is injured and out of action, Ancelotti can’t count on his main star for weeks

Real Madrid have confirmed that Kylian Mbappé has suffered a thigh muscle injury in his left leg and will be out of action for the next three weeks. The injury means he will miss several key games, including the Madrid derby against Atlético.

• Mbappé has injured the thigh muscle in his left leg and will be out for three weeks
• He will miss matches against Atlético Madrid, Lille and Valladolid
• Mbappé walked off the pitch during the match against Alavés after complaining of pain in his left leg

Mbappé asked to be substituted in the 80th minute of the match against Alavés, where he helped Real Madrid take a 2-0 lead. Due to the pain in his left leg, he decided to be substituted to prevent a more serious injury.

“He is fine. He was a bit tired and asked me to make a substitution to avoid problems.”

However, Real Madrid confirmed in a statement on Wednesday afternoon that after a thorough examination, a thigh muscle injury on his left leg had been diagnosed. “Following the examinations carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappé, an injury to the thigh muscle in his left leg has been diagnosed,” the club said.

Mbappé will miss key matches against Atlético and Lille

Real Madrid now face the challenge of finding a way to succeed without the French striker in upcoming matches. The derby against Atlético will be a big test.

Real are now second in LaLiga with 17 points, Atlético have 12 points. Mbappé, who has been gradually getting into form over the course of the season, has scored five times so far in the Spanish top flight.

His absence will be a big loss for Ancelotti’s team and a new way will have to be found to succeed in these crucial matches.

He will miss the crucial match against Atlético Madrid in LaLiga, Lille in the Champions League and will also be unavailable for the French national team during the upcoming break.

Ancelotti’s post-match comments

Coach Ancelotti commented after the match on the last minutes. It’s the way it is. That gives the opponent confidence. You don’t want it, but sometimes it happens. It happened today and it will happen many more times.”

Still, Ancelotti stressed that his team played very well for most of the game, adding

The coach also praised Bellingham for his performance. He passed the ball to Mbappé and played a very solid game. He needs to get into the box more, like he did last year, but against a low defence like Alavés it’s much harder. I demand this work from him, not necessarily goals.”
