Mbappe knee injury big blow for Real Madrid ahead of Liga return and Supercup

Real Madrid has received bad news to end 2025 with the club confirming that top scorer Kylian Mbappe has suffered a knee injury in training. It will keep him out of Sunday's La Liga game at home to Betis and which makes him a doubt for the Spanish Supercup in Saudi Arabia.

"Following tests carried out today by the Real Madrid Medical Services on our player Kylian Mbappe, he has been diagnosed with a sprain in his left knee," informed the club on its official website. As is usual with Real Madrid, the medical report didn't say when the French striker would return, merely commenting "his progress will be monitored."
