Kylian Mbappé will therefore have been cut off in his momentum on Tuesday against Atalanta Bergamo. On the legs, the Bondynois first appeared particularly to his advantage in Lombardy, opening the scoring in the first minutes of the match thanks to a good sequence at the entrance to the area. An opportunity to double the lead after a sharp call from deep would follow.
But the former Parisian’s evening ended shortly after the half-hour mark. After sitting in the central circle, the Madrid striker actually turned to his bench to ask for his replacement. After a quick discussion with two members of the medical staff, he left his partners, replaced by Rodrigo.
Kylian Mbappé felt discomfort in his thigh
The French world champion did not limp and sat on the Madrid bench, his face closed. The victory won by his partners (3-2) will undoubtedly have brought some comfort to his heart, especially since the Madrid camp wanted to be reassuring about the nature of his injury.
“Mbappé suffers from discomfort in his hamstrings. It doesn’t seem serious, we’ll see tomorrow (Wednesday). He couldn’t sprint, it hurt him a little and we preferred to replace him”confided Carlo Ancelotti after the meeting.
And the story was the same in the mouth of his teammate Thibaut Courtois. “I think he felt his muscle contract a little. I don’t think it’s going to be anything serious. Maybe we’ll lose him for this weekend, but I don’t hope for more.”he explained on the microphone of Movistar. If he will have to go through the exams box, there was no need to worry.
