Real Madrid star Kylian Mbapp sidelined with knee injury
PARIS (AP) --- Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbapp has injured his left knee, the
Spanish club said on Wednesday.
Madrid said in a brief statement the France superstar had been diagnosed with a
sprain but did not provide a timeline for his recovery.
French sports daily newspaper L'Equipe said Mbapp would be unavailable for at
least three weeks, without quoting a source.
L'Equipe added that Mbapp had been suffering for several weeks from an issue
with the lateral ligament in his knee, and an MRI carried out on Wednesday
morning revealed a lesion that requires treatment and rest.
The striker has been in great form. Earlier this month, Mbapp scored his 59th
goal for Madrid in 2025, tying the club record for the most in a year held by
Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former Paris Saint-Germain player, who joined Madrid in the summer of 2024,
has scored 29 times for Madrid this season, including a league-leading 18.
Mbapp was at Africa Cup of Nations games between host Morocco and Mali on
Friday and Cameroon vs. Ivory Coast on Sunday.
Madrid's next game is on Sunday against Real Betis in La Liga.
