Kylian Mbappe Suffers Injury Before Madrid Derby

Kylian Mbappe, who has been in stellar form for Real Madrid, scoring seven goals in nine matches, has suffered a biceps femoris injury that will likely sideline him for the crucial Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid. He was substituted during the team's recent 3-2 victory over Alaves, where he scored the opening goal. Real Madrid's coach Carlo Ancelotti downplayed concerns about Mbappe's condition but confirmed that he would be monitored closely. The injury comes at a challenging time for Madrid, as they aim to keep pace with league leaders Barcelona, just one point ahead of them. Former player Raul Garcia emphasized that while Real's financial strength gives them an advantage, it doesn't guarantee superiority on the pitch. The Madrid derby is set to take place this Sunday, generating significant excitement in the city.
