Barcelona"Mbappé is not okay. There has been a hyperextension in the knee after the shot and I think he will return to Madrid, we will not take any risks". These were the first reactions from Zinedine Zidane —who debuted with a victory with the French national team against Turkey (0-1)— after the match.

The Real Madrid forward had to leave the pitch in the 59th minute after scoring the only goal of the match. Mbappé, who tried to continue, was substituted with discomfort in his left knee, the same one that had already caused him problems last season on more than one occasion. Désiré Doué came on in his place.

The French Federation, for its part, confirmed that he is suffering from a tendon injury and will be out for the next three matches that Zidane's team has to play: Belgium (Monday 28, 20:45), Italy (Friday 2, 20:45) and, again, Belgium (Monday 5, 20:45).

Everything points to the fact that Mbappé will undergo more medical tests this Saturday to find out in more detail what injury he has and how long he could be out of action. It should be remembered that, in a month's time, Barça and Real Madrid will face each other at the Camp Nou. It will be next Sunday, October 25th, at 9:00 PM. Before that, José Mourinho's team will play against Villarreal (October 10, 9 PM), Roma (October 14, 9 PM), Sevilla (October 18, 9 PM) and Leipzig (October 21, 9 PM).
