According to the reputable newspaper The Athletic, Kylian Mbappe is set to be sidelined for the next three weeks due to his current injury. Real Madrid recently announced the unfortunate news on their official website, stating: “Following examinations conducted today by Real Madrid’s medical team, Mbappe has been diagnosed with a hamstring injury in his left leg. We are awaiting further developments.”

While the club did not specify a recovery timeline, The Athletic reports that the French forward will be out of action for three weeks.

This means Mbappe will definitely miss the Madrid derby on September 30, which is a significant loss for both him and the Royal Club. He is also expected to be unavailable for Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Lille on October 3, and he may remain a spectator for the La Liga match against Villarreal on October 6.

In other news, reports from AS indicate that through his investment company, Interconnected Ventures, Mbappe now holds an 80% stake in Caen FC, with the remaining 20% owned by Pierre-Antoine Capton, the club’s former owner.

This move sees the Real Madrid forward following in the footsteps of other prominent footballers, such as N’Golo Kante, who owns Royal Excelsior Virton in Belgium. This acquisition marks Mbappe’s first foray into football club ownership, opening a new chapter in the career of the talented star.

So far this season, Mbappe has scored seven goals and provided one assist in nine appearances. His absence will pose challenges for coach Carlo Ancelotti and the team.
