Kylian Mbappé will miss the next two weeks of action after sustaining a hyperextension of his left knee in a match against Turkiye, but medical staff expect him to be fit for the upcoming El Clásico clash with Barcelona.
The French forward’s injury occurred during the recent international fixture with Turkiye, where a sudden hyperextension forced him off the pitch. The condition was diagnosed as a left‑knee hyperextension, prompting a short‑term recovery plan.
Team doctors have set a two‑week timetable for Mbappé’s return, indicating that he should regain full training capacity in time for the high‑profile encounter with Barcelona. No surgery is required, and the prognosis is described as “fit to play” for the match.
Mbappé, a key figure for both his national side and Paris Saint‑Germain, is widely regarded as one of the sport’s premier talents. His availability for El Clásico—a fixture that routinely draws global viewership and intense rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid—adds a significant boost to the event’s star power.
Supporters will be watching his rehabilitation closely, with expectations that the striker will be back on the field for one of football’s most watched spectacles.
