Overview
- Kylian Mbappé stopped during Real Madrid’s draw at Real Betis and asked to be substituted after feeling pain in his left thigh.
- The club confirmed a lesion of the semitendinosus, a hamstring muscle that drives sprinting, braking, and quick direction changes.
- Real Madrid did not provide a return timeline after medical tests clarified the issue beyond early talk of simple muscle fatigue.
- Fabrice Bryand, a former France team doctor, said proper rehab should avoid long-term problems and noted a link to his winter left‑knee sprain.
- Spanish media report he is expected to miss the next league match and is uncertain for El Clásico, while reports say his World Cup availability is not in doubt for now.
