Real Madrid confirmed that Kylian Mbappe suffered a left knee hyperextension during international duty. He scored the winning goal in a match against Turkiye before coming off the pitch. France initially reported a tendon problem following the final whistle.

Spanish media outlets suggest the forward might miss about two weeks of action. Real Madrid has not yet provided an official timeline for his recovery. Bettors must monitor his fitness closely before placing wagers on upcoming fixtures.

Fixtures in doubt

The player started the domestic season in strong scoring form with six goals. His availability for the upcoming league match against Villarreal on October ten remains uncertain. Real Madrid also faces Roma in the Champions League four days later.

Market reaction

Punters backing Real Madrid in upcoming markets should wait for official fitness updates. Any prolonged absence could lengthen their odds in both domestic and European competitions. Bookmakers will adjust prices depending on when he returns to the starting lineup.
