Mbappé escaped a possible surgery after a knee injury

At the Mexico City Stadium, Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid forward, opened the scoring for France against Turkey before leaving the pitch after feeling a discomfort in his knee. The goal, captured by Getty Images, sparked celebration, but the player withdrew after feeling pressure in the joint, leaving the French side with the lead.

Diagnosis and prognosis

Medical examinations determined a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the knee, with an estimated layoff of ten to twelve days. Initially the injury seemed serious, but the results ruled out the need for immediate surgical intervention.

However, the newspaper AS claims exclusively that the injury could have been more serious, with a risk of requiring surgery if Mbappé had continued playing. The tests carried out indicated that the danger of a major injury was very high while staying on the field.

Real Madrid has announced that it will manage the forward's recovery very carefully and will not force him to play against Villarreal. The club prefers that he recovers properly and will avoid pushing his presence so that the scare does not turn into a serious problem.

In parallel, Efe reported that Éder Militao returned to Real Madrid training sessions, while the team monitors Mbappé's progress. The club's management maintains close medical monitoring for any eventuality.

This situation highlights the fragility of elite footballers and the importance of medical prudence in the face of potentially serious injuries, especially in international competitions.
