According to Mundo Deportivo, Mbappe sustained a left knee injury during France's international match, marking his seventh injury since joining Real Madrid in the summer 2024 transfer window. As a result, he has missed 14 matches, resulting in an 88.8% attendance rate. The severity of this injury is still awaiting further examination.

Mbappe was injured during France's match against Turkey, specifically during an attack in which he scored the match's only goal before injuring his left knee. He attempted to continue playing but eventually had to request a substitution and left the national team training camp early to return to Madrid. This is Mbappe's seventh injury since joining Real Madrid and has once again drawn attention to the left knee problem that plagued him for several months last season.

Multiple Injuries in His First Season at Real Madrid

Mbappe's first injury came quickly. On September 24, 2024, during La Liga matchday 7 against Alaves, he suffered a left hamstring injury. Although initially expected to require a longer recovery period, he recovered quickly, missing only the derby against Atlético Madrid the following weekend. Less than three months later, he was sidelined again. On December 10, in a Champions League away match against Atalanta in Bergamo, Mbappe was substituted in the 36th minute due to muscular discomfort after scoring a goal. This injury caused him to miss the next league match against Rayo Vallecano.

In February 2025, a third problem emerged. A hard tackle from Carlos Romero in Espanyol's match against Real Madrid resulted in a calf hematoma for Mbappe. Although he returned to training, he was cautiously left out of the Copa del Rey match against Leganés. A month later, Mbappe sprained his right ankle in a Champions League match against Arsenal, missing two matches against Athletic Bilbao and Getafe. However, his absence from the first match was partly due to a previous red card suspension.

Additionally, Mbappe missed three Club World Cup matches, but this was not due to injury. Acute gastroenteritis kept him out of matches against Al Hilal, Pachuca, and Red Bull Salzburg.

Left Knee Becomes the Main Problem

The longest injury period began in December 2024. Mbappe started experiencing discomfort in his left knee, and Real Madrid announced on the last day of the year that the player had sustained a sprain, sidelining him from matches against Real Betis and Atlético Madrid. This problem recurred in the first months of 2025, causing several absences through March. During this period, Mbappe missed a total of seven matches, including those against Benfica, Getafe, Celta Vigo, Manchester City, and Elche.

After recovering from his knee injury, Mbappe was injured again on April 25. This time he suffered a left hamstring injury, sidelining him for 17 days and two matches. Five months later, he was sidelined once more. This seventh injury occurred away from Real Madrid, during an international break with the French national team. Initial diagnosis indicated a left knee tendon injury, the same joint that bothered him for several months last season. While awaiting a final determination of his current absence period, Mbappe has missed 14 matches due to injury since joining Real Madrid. If the three matches missed due to gastroenteritis are included, the total reaches 17 matches.

Despite suffering seven injuries, the French striker has maintained a high attendance rate, nearly 90% of the matches played over his more than two years at Real Madrid. However, this figure may begin to decline once the final diagnosis for the left knee problem is released, which once again has sidelined him.
