COPE reports Kylian Mbappé and Ibrahima Konaté could recover in 10–15 days, putting them in contention for Real Madrid’s October 10 game against Villarreal. Mbappé has a left-knee injury and Konaté a right-leg problem; neither is assured to start.
Real Madrid said tests found hyperextension of the posterior capsule of Mbappé’s left knee. He was injured while playing for France after scoring in a 1–0 win over Türkiye and came off shortly after; the club gave no exact return date. Konaté returned early from international duty without playing. Madrid confirmed his right-leg injury but disclosed neither its severity nor an official recovery estimate.
Real Madrid is expected to be cautious. Even if fit, the pair’s minutes could be managed, and Konaté’s return will depend on his response to training.
