Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe sustained a hamstring injury during a recent fixture, according to Real Madrid. The French international is expected to miss several upcoming matches for the club. Medics at the Spanish club confirmed the injury following scans on the player's left leg, per Real Madrid.
The injury puts his participation in the El Clasico against Barcelona next month in doubt. He is likely to be unavailable for at least three weeks, according to Sky Sports. This period includes league matches and a Champions League fixture against Lille. The club stated his progress will be monitored to determine a return date.
Mbappe joined the Spanish side during the summer transfer window. He has scored seven goals in nine appearances since his arrival, according to ESPN. The loss of the striker is a blow to the Madrid squad as they pursue league leaders Barcelona. Manager Carlo Ancelotti must now organise the attack without the 25-year-old for the forthcoming schedule.
