When Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé suffered his knee injury during France’s match against Turkey the club feared that he was going to need surgery, according to a report published on AS. Ultimately, Mbappé escaped said outcome also because he decided to leave the field, per that same report.
The French star has been diagnosed with a hyper-extended knee and while he should be available when Los Blancos take on Villarreal right after the break, Real Madrid’s coaching staff could decide to manage his minutes knowing that their next two away games in Rome and Barcelona could be crucial.
If Mbappé does end up missing a game, Mourinho could decide to start Carlos Espí or Bellingham in the center of the attacking line.
