Mbappé gives France another scare

Kylian Mbappé

Kylian Mbappe noticed something strange in his left leg… and decided to stop dead in his tracks. It was the 81st minute and with the score at 0-1, the Frenchman raised his arms asking for a change from the coaching staff. He left the pitch under his own steam, but his face said it all. “I have no idea. He was uncomfortable and we’ll see how he evolves over the next few days,” Arbeloa said in a press conference. He was not yet aware of the first examination by the medical services, which would come shortly afterwards.

The first exploration, on the visiting bench at La Cartuja, points to a overload in the hamstring of the left leg, according to the club. Tomorrow, when they return to training in Valdebebas, he will undergo further tests in Valdebebas to rule out that the severity of the injury is greater. What is clear is that the Real Madrid number 10 did not hesitate to ask for a change… perhaps because of the proximity of the World Cup and because the team was ahead on the scoreboard against Betis.
