Relief for Kylian Mbappe. The French international forward has already returned to Madrid to be examined by the club’s medical staff after he felt discomfort in his left ankle during the match between France and Azerbaijan, which forced him to be substituted in the final minutes.
According to the examination by the doctors, there is no serious injury to Kepa, who will train normally with the rest of his teammates next week and will therefore be able to play in Madrid’s next match, on Sunday against Getafe at the Coliseum.
A mishap similar to Militao’s
Real Madrid’s doctors compare Kylian Mbappe’s mishap to that suffered by Eder Militao a couple of weeks ago, another heavy blow that in the case of the Brazilian meant that, as a precaution, he did not travel to the Champions League match in Almaty. Now it is a matter of training carefully to avoid further blows in the same area so that he can play without problems in Real Madrid’s next match, next Sunday at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
As for Franco Mastantuono, he also returns to Madrid due to muscle overload which, in principle, is not serious either. In any case, the Argentine will be treated in the coming days by the club’s physiotherapists, and depending on his evolution it will be determined whether he will be available to play against Getafe.
The best in France
Kylian Mbappe travelled with France slightly injured. The Real Madrid striker suffered a slight ankle sprain in the last match before the break, against Villarreal. In any case, the player travelled with France and, although he did not train until the day before Les Bleus’ match against Azerbaijan, he was the best of his team in the 2026 World Cup qualifier. He scored France’s first goal after a great individual action and provided the pass for Rabiot’s 2-0. However, a few minutes later he went to the ground and had to be substituted, which set alarm bells ringing until the reassuring examination in Madrid by the club’s medical services.
As for Mastantuono, he also traveled slightly injured with his national team. The Albiceleste doctors confirmed the first diagnosis of the white doctors, a slight muscle overload, which advises the player’s return to Madrid to be treated at Valdebebas while awaiting his evolution in the coming days.
