During Real Madrid’s 3-2 La Liga victory over Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappe requested to be taken off the pitch, according to head coach Carlo Ancelotti.
Deportivo Alaves lost to Real Madrid 3-2.
According to MARCA, which cited unidentified sources, the Frenchman is reportedly feeling pain in his left thigh and will get tests to determine whether or not he is injured.
After Lucas Vazquez’s first goal on 55 seconds, Mbappe’s incredible, inspired goal in the last minutes of the half put it 2-0 at the Bernabeu.
With 80 minutes remaining and his team up 3-0 thanks to a goal from Rodrygo, Mbappe exited the pitch. The fact that Mbappe was unable to prevent the opponents’ late comeback effort alarmed Los Blancos supporters.
Though insisting that Mbappe is fit, Ancelotti claimed that Mbappe asked to leave the match “to avoid problems,” which gave him cause for concern.
The Italian continued, “He’s very good, we’re doing very well in attack.”

“The team did a great job for an hour, looking for opportunities in a number of situations, such as pass filtering and transitions. The squad is improving, which is great for us, but the schedule is incredibly strict. Apart from that, Sunday’s Madrid derby against Atletico will be very difficult.
Ancelotti stated that his midfielder Jude Bellingham is “growing” after playing “a very complete game” and laying a nice assist for Mbappe in last weekend’s 4-1 second half thrashing of Espanyol. The Englishman is making a comeback from a wound.
