Real Madrid angered by France handling of Mbappe injury

Real Madrid are angry with France's coaching and medical staff over the way Kylian Mbappe's fitness was handled, according to the source material.

Mbappe leaves camp for tests

Mbappe started France's first match under Zinedine Zidane and scored the only goal in the second half. He then picked up a left-knee injury while striking the ball with his right foot and left the national team camp straight away to return to Spain for medical checks.

No final diagnosis has been announced yet.

Madrid had asked for rest

The source says Madrid had asked for Mbappe to be rested for the match against Turkey. It adds that the striker had arrived at Clairefontaine with a slight pain in the same area later affected by the injury, and that this information had been passed on clearly to France's medical staff, along with a request for extra caution.
