UCL: Ancelotti provides update on Mbappé’s injury after Real Madrid’s win over Atalanta

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has provided an update on Kylian Mbappé’s condition following the forward’s early exit in their Champions League clash against Atalanta.

Although Madrid managed to win the match 3-2, the Tuesday night encounter saw star forward Mbappe, pick a knock.

The Frenchman was substituted in the first half after appearing to struggle with a hamstring issue.

Speaking after the match, Ancelotti downplayed fears of a serious injury.

“He has an overload, a discomfort in the hamstring,” Ancelotti explained. “It doesn’t seem serious, but he had to stop because he couldn’t sprint… it bothered him a little.

“So we preferred to take him off. We’ll assess in the next few days.”

Despite the setback, Real Madrid pulled a spirited performance to secure their third Champions League win of the season.
