Kylian Mbappe Awaits Final Clearance from Real Madrid in Doha

Kylian Mbappe was forced to leave the field before the end of the first half during Real Madrid's match against Atalanta in Bergamo. At that moment, Real Madrid was leading 1-0, with Mbappe scoring the goal. This injury occurred during his best form of the season.

Real Madrid has a rest day today and will not train at Valdebebas until Thursday afternoon, with the session starting at 15:00. At that time, Mbappe will undergo medical tests to determine the extent of his left hamstring injury. This injury will likely sideline him for Saturday's game against Rayo Vallecano, and the big question is whether he will be available for the Intercontinental Cup final next Wednesday in Doha.

Initial impressions of Mbappe's injury were reassuring, with Thibaut Courtois stating that he would only miss the league game against Rayo. However, Real Madrid prefers to exercise caution and wait for Thursday's tests. Mbappe had a similar injury in late September, causing him to miss the Madrid derby at Atlético's stadium.
