Kylian Mbappe Banned from Madrid Derby

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has been banned from attending the upcoming Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid due to security concerns, following his recent thigh injury that will keep him out for three weeks. The club fears that his presence could provoke hostility from rival fans, particularly after past incidents of racial abuse towards teammate Vinicius Jr. Meanwhile, a much-anticipated clash between Kylian and his brother Ethan Mbappe, who plays for LOSC Lille, will not occur due to Ethan sustaining a quadriceps injury, sidelining him for two to three months. This development casts doubt on whether Real Madrid will rush Kylian back into action. Coach Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged that while the team will have to adapt their strategy without Kylian, they are capable of managing the situation, recalling their success last season without him.
