Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has issued an update on Kylian Mbappé’s condition following the forward’s early exit from the Champions League match against Atalanta.
Despite Madrid’s 3-2 victory, star striker Mbappe sustained an injury in the Tuesday night play.
The Frenchman was pulled in the first half after seeming to suffer with a hamstring injury.
Following the game, Ancelotti downplayed concerns about a major injury.
“He has an overload, a discomfort in the hamstring,” Ancelotti explained. “It doesn’t seem serious, but he had to stop because he couldn’t sprint… it bothered him a little.
“So we preferred to take him off. We’ll assess in the next few days.”
Despite the setback, Real Madrid pulled a spirited performance to secure their third Champions League win of the season.
