Summary
Real Madrid have confirmed that Kylian Mbappé suffered a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of his left knee during France's Nations League fixture against Turkey. The injury occurred in the second half as he scored the match's only goal.
Medical tests at Valdebebas suggest a 10–12 day absence, making him doubtful for the visit of Villarreal on 10 October. The same knee caused problems between December and March. Madrid are frustrated that another player—Konaté—has returned injured from international duty, with the Barcelona clash on 25 October looming.
