Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappé will be absent for this weekend’s highly anticipated La Liga derby against Atlético Madrid due to a thigh injury. The injury, which occurred during the team’s recent 3-2 victory over Alavés, has sidelined the French superstar for an estimated three weeks.
Mbappé, who has been in impressive form this season with five goals in seven league matches, was substituted during the Alavés match, raising immediate concerns about his fitness. The news comes as a significant blow to Real Madrid as they prepare for one of their most important fixtures of the season.
Head coach Carlo Ancelotti will need to adjust his lineup in Mbappé’s absence, as the team looks to maintain its strong position in the league standings. The derby against Atlético is always a fiercely contested match, and fans will be hoping for a strong performance from the squad despite the loss of their star player.
As the team prepares for the challenge ahead, all eyes will be on how they adapt without Mbappé and whether they can secure a crucial win against their city rivals.
