Real Madrid forward, Kylian Mbappe, faces a spell on the sidelines due to a thigh injury suffered during yesterday’s 3-2 win against Deportivo Alaves.
Following tests, Madrid said 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.
Meanwhile, Manchester City have confirmed Spain midfielder Rodri suffered a knee ligament injury against Arsenal on Sunday. No timeline has yet been put on the player’s recovery, but Pep Guardiola said he is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
