Terrible news about Kylian Mbappé ahead of Atlético Madrid vs Real: he is going to hospital!

Here’s one that doesn’t exactly reassure ahead of the clash against Atlético Madrid. While Real Madrid were holding their final training session before the match, Kylian Mbappé spent over an hour and a half working alone in the gym. According to the latest reports, the French forward is experiencing some discomfort.

Real Madrid held their final training session on Tuesday evening ahead of the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Atlético Madrid. After securing a 2-1 victory in the first leg last week, Carlo Ancelotti and his men will need to put in a strong performance at the Civitas Metropolitano on Wednesday night. Speaking to the press, the Madrid coach appeared very confident about the condition of his players. However, according to the latest updates, Kylian Mbappé is not at 100%.

Muscle overload for KM9

Indeed, while the players were out on the pitch making their final adjustments, Kylian Mbappé did not immediately join them. Instead, the former Paris Saint-Germain star spent over an hour and a half training alone in the gym, as injured players often do. Although Real Madrid have refused to comment openly on the No.9’s situation, Marca has managed to obtain some information.

According to sources from our Madrid-based colleagues, Mbappé is suffering from discomfort, specifically a muscle overload. By training alone in the gym, the French forward is taking a precautionary measure to avoid worsening his physical issues, which insiders have described as “not serious.” According to the reports, the 26-year-old star is still expected to be available for the clash against Atlético Madrid. However, he will undergo medical tests on Wednesday morning to rule out any risk before the match kicks off.

If the risk of a long-term injury is deemed too high, Kylian Mbappé will not play or, at the very least, will not start against Atlético Madrid’s Colchoneros. For now, the player is under close monitoring by Madrid’s medical staff. In any case, it wouldn’t be surprising if he is left out of the starting eleven on Wednesday night. Fingers crossed that everything gets back to normal so we can see KM9 at 100% at the Civitas Metropolitano. After a difficult first leg, the Bondy native is highly anticipated by the Spanish press.
