Kylian Mbappé will be sidelined for the remainder of the Spanish La Liga season.
According to Real Madrid, the French player sustained a thigh muscle injury during the match against Betis Sevilla (1-1). This development casts doubt on the 27-year-old’s availability for the El Clásico encounter against league leaders FC Barcelona on May 10th.
«Following today’s examinations, Kylian Mbappé has been diagnosed with a semitendinosus muscle injury in his left leg,» Real Madrid announced on Monday. Mbappé was substituted shortly before the end of the match last Friday. However, according to AFP news agency, there is no cause for concern regarding his participation in the World Cup.
With this draw, Los Blancos have extinguished their remaining hopes of winning the league title. With five matchdays left, they trail FC Barcelona by eleven points.
