😮‍💨 Relief at Real Madrid over Mbappé injury | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé has had to leave the French national team camp after finishing with ankle pain against Azerbaijan. The forward, who came off limping in the 82nd minute, will miss the next “Bleus” clash against Iceland, but Real Madrid can breathe easy.

According to outlets like 'Marca' and 'As', the initial tests carried out on the France captain are positive and do not indicate a serious injury.

Mbappé arrived at Clairefontaine carrying a knock from the match against Villarreal. Even so, he asked to play, shone with a stunning goal and an assist, and once again proved why he is one of the most decisive footballers on the planet.

“I want to play, the national team is the most important thing,” Mbappé said before the match. For more than 80 minutes he managed it without signs of pain, until a blow to his right leg set off all the alarms.

Didier Deschamps later confirmed that the ankle was “quite sensitive” and that the pain was worse than expected. With the risk of aggravating the injury, the coaching and medical staff agreed not to push the situation.

Finally, Mbappé returns to Madrid to recover calmly and avoid scares. Although France loses its star for the trip to Reykjavík, Madrid is relieved that their gem only needs rest… and not a long-term injury.
