Real Madrid's forward, Kylian Mbappé, has sustained an injury to his left thigh, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming FIFA Intercontinental Cup final.
The French international was substituted in the 36th minute during Real Madrid's 3-2 UEFA Champions League victory over Atalanta on December 10, 2024, after opening the scoring in the 10th minute.
Post-match, manager Carlo Ancelotti reported that Mbappé experienced "an overload, a little discomfort in his hamstring," and expressed hope that the injury is not severe. However, subsequent medical evaluations confirmed a left thigh injury, sidelining Mbappé for the forthcoming La Liga fixture against Rayo Vallecano on December 14. His participation in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final remains uncertain, with his condition to be monitored in the coming days.
Mbappé's potential absence is a significant setback for Real Madrid, given his recent form, including goals in consecutive matches against Girona and Atalanta. The team is already contending with injuries to key players such as Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão. The medical staff will continue to assess Mbappé's progress to determine his readiness for the final.
In the Champions League match against Atalanta, Real Madrid secured a 3-2 victory, with goals from Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Jude Bellingham. This win bolstered their position in the group stage, providing a confidence boost ahead of upcoming fixtures.
The club and its supporters are hopeful for Mbappé's swift recovery, aiming for his return to action in the near future.
