Kylian Mbappé will be sidelined for approximately two weeks after sustaining a hyperextension to his left knee in the fixture against Turkiye, team medical staff confirmed. The injury occurred during the match and prompted immediate assessment; scans indicated no structural damage but required a short period of rest and rehabilitation.
The two-week prognosis means Mbappé will miss short-term action as he follows a structured recovery programme under club and national team supervision. Doctors have prescribed conservative treatment aimed at reducing inflammation and rebuilding strength in the joint, followed by a phased return to training.
Coaching and medical staff have indicated the forward is expected to be available for the upcoming El Clasico meeting with Barcelona, which falls outside the two-week absence. The club will continue to monitor his progress closely and adjust the recovery plan if necessary to ensure full match fitness.
Mbappé’s temporary absence is likely to force his team to reshuffle attacking options in the immediate fixtures, but the prognosis offers reassurance that the issue is not long-term. Both club and national team officials have reiterated that the priority is a cautious return to avoid any recurrence ahead of key fixtures.
Further updates are expected as Mbappé completes the rehabilitation milestones set out by the medical staff. Any changes to the recovery timeline will be communicated by the club or national team following additional assessments.
