Mbappé Faces Fitness Test After Ankle Sprain
Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid)
October 2025
Mbappé sprained his ankle late in Madrid’s 3-1 win over Villarreal, despite scoring to set a career-best nine-game streak. He will be assessed before joining France’s World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland.
Substituted in the 83rd minute, Mbappé felt discomfort after scoring Madrid’s third. Alonso confirmed he remains first-choice penalty taker despite letting Vinícius take one earlier. France doctors will decide availability, with Madrid hopeful the issue is minor.
