Real Madrid fans suffered yet another setback this week when Kylian Mbappe picked up an injury during a UEFA Nations League fixture against Turkiye.

The Frenchman looked in discomfort shortly after scoring the winning goal, leading to immediate concerns around the French camp. Even his Real Madrid teammate Arda Guler looked worried.

The true extent of Mbappe’s injury has not been determined as of yet. But it is yet another reminder of his poor fitness record since joining the club.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo , the setback marks the seventh injury Mbappe has suffered since arriving at Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.

Across that period, the Frenchman has missed 14 matches due to injury, a figure that rises to 17 when including three games missed through gastroenteritis at the Club World Cup. Despite that, he has maintained an impressive availability rate of 88.8%.

The most concerning aspect is the nature of this latest problem. Mbappe injured his left knee against Turkiye, the very same joint that troubled him for several months last season.

He initially tried to continue but was ultimately forced off and has since left the France camp to return to Madrid.
