"Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe will miss Sunday's La Liga home game against Real Betis due to a knee injury but is pushing to be available for next week's Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Atletico Madrid, manager Xabi Alonso has said. The 27-year-old France captain, who equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's club record of 59 goals in a calendar year for Real in their 2-0 La Liga win over Sevilla on December 20, has a sprain in his left knee."
"We'll definitely miss Kylian, Alonso told reporters on Saturday. We have to have a lot of faith in those who are going to play tomorrow. Now we'll see. We have to wait and see how things develop, and we'll do everything we can to get him back as soon as possible. We're going to be pushing the deadlines; it's very much a matter of feelings. When is as soon as possible? That's the question. I don't know. The Super Cup? We hope."
Kylian Mbappé has a sprain in his left knee and will miss Sunday's La Liga home game against Real Betis. He is aiming to be available for next week's Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Atletico Madrid. Initial expectations indicated at least three weeks out, but recovery timelines will be pushed and assessed based on his sensations. Mbappé equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's club record of 59 goals in a calendar year on December 20. Real Madrid's earlier five-point lead narrowed after a November downturn, including three draws and a home loss to Celta Vigo, while Vinícius Júnior has struggled to score this season and has not netted since October.
