Kylian Mbappe Diagnosed with Left Knee Hyperextension, Recovery Timeline Unclear
Kylian Mbappe, France captain and Real Madrid forward, suffered a hyperextension of the posterior capsule in his left knee during France's 1-0 Nations League win over Turkey. He left the match shortly after scoring and was replaced due to the injury. Real Madrid confirmed the diagnosis but did not specify a recovery timeline.
