Kylian Mbappe is set to be sidelined for approximately two weeks after suffering a hyperextension of his left knee, according to Al Jazeera. The injury occurred during a match against Turkiye, though the forward is expected to be fit in time to face Barcelona in El Clasico.
The knee injury adds Mbappe to a list of players managing fitness concerns during a busy period of matches across club and international commitments. Hyperextension injuries, which occur when a joint is forced beyond its normal range of motion, can vary significantly in severity, though the two-week recovery timeline suggests the injury is not considered severe by medical staff assessing the forward.
El Clasico, the historic fixture between Real Madrid and Barcelona, is one of the most closely watched matches in world football, and Mbappe's potential return in time for the game would be a significant boost for Real Madrid ahead of the high-profile encounter.
Further updates on Mbappe's recovery progress and his exact return date are expected as medical staff continue to monitor the injury in the coming days. No additional details on the specific match context against Turkiye were included in the available report.
