Real Madrid won Tuesday's La Liga match 3-2 and Mbappé scored one of the goals. But in the 80th minute, he was substituted – after asking for it himself. The striker clutched his thigh and left the pitch.

After the match, the team's coach Carlo Ancelotti commented on the situation:

He's fine. But he had a slight overload and asked to be substituted to avoid problems, he says according to AFP.

Real Madrid writes on their website that Mbappé was examined on Wednesday and has suffered a thigh injury.

The Spanish giant club does not specify how long Mbappé will be out. But according to Spanish Marca, he will miss Sunday's hot derby against Atlético Madrid.
