Introduction
On September 26, Fabrizio Romano announced that Kylian Mbappé was diagnosed with hyperextension of the posterior capsule in his left knee, with the club doctors expecting a full recovery in two weeks.
How Did It Happen?
The injury happened during the Nations League match where France faced Turkey in the group stage, as Mbappé scored the winning goal.
Real Madrid’s Official Announcement
Following tests carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappé by Real Madrid’s medical staff, he has been diagnosed with hyperextension of the posterior capsule of his left knee. His progress is being monitored.
When Will He Return?
According to many reports, Kylian Mbappé’s safest zone to return is October 25. However, the French striker may return a few days earlier as he may recover faster.
Zinedine Zidane has already said France will not take any risks. Mbappé has been sent back to Real Madrid and will miss the remaining three matches of this international break.
As the concerns were addressed by the doctors, Real Madrid fans are thrilled to see Mbappé back after two weeks.
My Perspective
In my perspective, Kylian Mbappé’s injury will impact the French national team negatively in the next few matches, as the team will struggle with converting tactical gameplay into goals.
I am expecting Zinedine Zidane to make some formation changes, including a more offensive gameplay approach from Ousmane Dembélé, with Désiré Doué or Barcola possibly taking Mbappé’s left-wing position.
