Real Madrid dissatisfied with France over Mbappé injury

Real Madrid has expressed dissatisfaction with how the French national team managed Kylian Mbappé leading up to his recent knee injury. According to reports, the club had informed the French medical staff that Mbappé arrived for international duty with pre-existing slight pain in his left knee and requested that he be handled with extreme caution.

Despite these warnings, Mbappé started in France's Nations League match against Turkey. He scored the game's only goal in the 54th minute but sustained an injury during the play. He was eventually substituted in the 57th minute.

Following medical examinations in Madrid, the injury was confirmed as a hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the left knee. While initial assessments ruled out ligament tears, recovery timelines vary; some reports suggest an absence of 10 to 12 days, while others indicate it could take up to three weeks.
