Kylian Mbappe’s Injury Could Impact Madrid Derby
Real Madrid’s star striker, Kylian Mbappe, is facing a potential absence from this weekend’s highly anticipated Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid. The French forward picked up an injury during Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Deportivo Alaves.
Mbappe, who has been in sensational form since joining Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain, was forced off the pitch in the 80th minute due to discomfort in his thigh. Subsequent medical tests revealed an injury to his left biceps femoris.
The potential loss of Mbappe would be a significant blow to Real Madrid’s hopes of securing a victory in the derby. His goal-scoring prowess and impact on the team have been instrumental in their strong start to the season.
With Barcelona currently leading La Liga, a win in the derby is crucial for Real Madrid to keep pace with their rivals. The absence of Mbappe, however, could make it a more challenging task.
