Mbappé scored the winning goal for Zidane's debut as coach, but suffered a knee injury in the process. He attempted to continue playing, but was substituted five minutes later by Désiré Doué. Voetbalzone reports that Mbappé will return to Real Madrid, with Zidane stating that the situation does not look good enough for him to continue playing. Mbappé will miss the two Nations League matches against Belgium and will also not play against Italy during this international period.
Mbappé's injury puts Real Madrid in a difficult position, with the team likely to have to play without him for now. The injury also raises concerns about Mbappé's availability for upcoming Champions League matches, including El Clásico against FC Barcelona on October 25.
