Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe suffered a thigh injury in this week’s Champions League match at Atalanta, the Spanish club confirmed on Thursday without giving details on his absence.
“Following tests carried out on Kylian Mbappe today by the Real Madrid medical department, the player has been diagnosed with a thigh injury in his left leg. His progress will be monitored,” Real said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Mbappe opened the scoring in the 10th minute in a 3-2 win in Bergamo to revive the holders’ flagging Champions League campaign. But the 25-year-old pulled up with a muscle pain after 36 minutes and was replaced by Rodrygo.
