Carlo Ancelotti Speaks About Kylian Mbappe’s Injury

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has spoken about his star forward, Kylian Mbappe’s injury suffered in the 3-2 win over Italian side Atalanta. The Frenchman was in the score sheet for the Los Blancos. However, he left the pitch injured and was replaced by Rodrygo.

Ancelotti however said that the injury doesn’t look serious but rather an overload. This is news that will come as a huge relief to Real Madrid fans owing to the heavy schedule of games ahead.

“Kylian Mbappe’s injury does not look serious. It’s an overload,” said Ancelotti.

Mbappe opened the scoring for Real in the must-win game in the 10th minute. However, the hosts leveled matters in the 45th minute through De Keteleare.

Vinicius Jr. who was returning from injury doubled Real Madrid’s lead in the 56th minute before Jude Bellingham added a third three minutes later.

Atalanta which is on fire in the Serie A got some hope of salvaging something from the game. This is after their Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman scored in the 65th minute but that was all at full-time.

With just two games to the end of the group stages, Atalanta are now in the 9th position with 11 points while Real Madrid are 18th with 9 points.

It should be recalled that Mbappe has been the subject of controversies in recent weeks. He missed two penalties and then went on to praise Lionel Messi as the GOAT. This caused some amount of ridicule from fans.
