Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has eased concerns over Kylian Mbappé’s fitness after the star forward was forced off early during their 3-2 Champions League victory against Atalanta on Tuesday night.
The Frenchman, who appeared to struggle with a hamstring issue, was substituted in the first half, raising fears about a potential long-term setback.
“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.”
In spite of losing Mbappé, Real Madrid showcased determination, securing their third win in the group stage.
Fans will be hopeful for a quick recovery as the team remains focused on their Champions League campaign.
