Kylian Mbappé has emerged as another injury concern for Real Madrid ahead of their Champions League meeting with Roma.
According to Spanish outlet AS, the French forward suffered a knee injury during France’s match against Turkey and will undergo medical examinations from 18:00 local time.
A diagnosis has not yet been confirmed, but the initial sensations surrounding the injury are reportedly not positive.
Mbappé awaits medical examinations
The tests will determine the extent of the injury and whether Mbappé is in danger of missing Real Madrid’s visit to the Stadio Olimpico.
Until the examination results are available, the forward’s condition and potential recovery period remain uncertain.
Mbappé’s absence would represent a considerable blow for José Mourinho, given the French international’s importance to Real Madrid’s attack.
Roma will monitor the situation closely as Gian Piero Gasperini prepares his team for one of the most demanding matches of their Champions League campaign.
Real Madrid face growing injury concerns
Mbappé is not the only Real Madrid player whose availability against Roma is uncertain.
Federico Valverde is already considered a major doubt after suffering a grade-three ankle sprain following El Clásico.
Ibrahima Konaté could also miss the trip to Rome after medical examinations revealed a collateral ligament injury.
Real Madrid could therefore travel to the Italian capital without three important players, although Mbappé’s availability will only become clearer after further testing.
Roma will await the official medical update before drawing any conclusions about the forward’s status for the match.
