Kylian Mbappé is diagnosed with a hyperextension injury to the posterior capsule of his left knee and is ruled out for at least two weeks or more, Real Madrid says. The forward picked up the problem while playing for France, leaving the pitch shortly after opening the scoring in a 1–0 win over Turkey.
Real Madrid’s medical tests confirm the injury, and the club says Mbappé could be available to return when La Liga resumes. Multiple reports note that France’s new coach Zinedine Zidane does not plan to risk him, and Mbappé is not used in the Nations League matches scheduled in the coming days. Coverage also points to uncertainty over his exact return timeline, with one outlet suggesting he may be in contention for later domestic matches, depending on recovery.
Across the outlets, the central points are consistent: the cause of the injury (left knee hyperextension during international duty), Real Madrid’s diagnosis, and a cautious approach to his immediate availability for both club and national-team fixtures as the schedule continues.
