Kylian Mbappé’s participation in Real Madrid‘s training session on Tuesday was notably absent due to concerns over his right ankle. The French forward experienced discomfort during the last match against Villarreal prior to the international break. Despite this minor injury, Mbappé joined the French national team, although he barely trained throughout the week. Last Friday, coach Didier Deschamps fielded him against Azerbaijan, where he made a significant impact by scoring once and providing an assist for another goal. However, towards the end of that match, he sustained a knock to his already sensitive ankle. Consequently, Deschamps opted to release him from the squad for the upcoming match against Iceland, allowing him to return to Madrid, as reported by MARCA.
Upon his return, medical examinations revealed that Mbappé has a sprain in his ankle. As a result, it was determined that he would not participate in training at the start of this week. Nevertheless, there is optimism surrounding his recovery; he is expected to rejoin team activities shortly and is likely to be available for Real Madrid’s La Liga match against Getafe on Sunday.
Injury Updates on Other Players
Meanwhile, fellow player Franco Mastantuono has also faced injury challenges during the international break. He traveled to Argentina but was sent back to Madrid due to muscular issues that rendered him unfit for action. Having trained alone since the beginning of the international hiatus, Mastantuono is not anticipated to have any lingering physical problems and should be ready to integrate back into the squad for the clash against Getafe.
The Road Ahead
As Real Madrid gears up for their return to league action, the fitness of key players like Mbappé will be crucial. The team is currently looking to maintain their momentum in La Liga after a strong start to the season. With both Mbappé and Mastantuono potentially available for selection, coach Carlo Ancelotti will have more options at his disposal as they aim for three points against Getafe.
Can Kylian Mbappé continue his impactful form upon his return? His contributions are vital as Real Madrid seeks to solidify its position at the top of La Liga.
