Bad start to the year for Real as French star sprains left knee and adds to their long injury list

Real Madrid have announced that Kylian Mbappe has suffered a knee sprain, delivering a blow to their bid to reel in La Liga leaders Barcelona.

“Following tests carried out today by Real Madrid medical services on our player Kylian Mbappe, he has been diagnosed with a sprain in his left knee,” the team said in a statement on Dec 31. “His progress will be monitored.”

The Spanish giants did not indicate how long the 27-year-old striker would be out for, but a source close to the France superstar told AFP that he would be absent for at least three weeks.

Mbappe, the leading scorer in La Liga this season with 18 goals, is therefore a major doubt for the Jan 4 league match at home to Real Betis, Los Merengues’ first after the winter break as they trail Barcelona by four points.
