JAKARTA - Real Madrid confirmed on Monday, April 27, 2026, local time, that French star Kylian Mbappe suffered a left hamstring injury in the semitendinosus muscle.
ESPN reported that he was doubtful for the El Clasico match on May 10, 2026. In fact, he has the chance to be absent until the end of the season.
Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa said Mbappe felt discomfort before asking to be replaced during the 1-1 draw against Real Betis on Saturday, April 25, 2026 WIB.
Real Madrid also said on the same day that Brazilian defender Eder Militao would undergo surgery this week in Finland for an injury he suffered during the match against Alaves.
The 28-year-old defender was replaced just before the first-half break in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Alaves in LaLiga on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 WIB.
Militao suffered a cruciate ligament injury in two consecutive seasons in 2023/2024 and 2024/2025, while this season's fitness problems limited him to only 16 appearances in LaLiga.
Meanwhile, Mbappe has scored 24 goals in 28 league appearances this season. He is also predicted to be a key player for the French National Team at the 2026 World Cup this summer.
Les Bleus, finalists in the last two World Cups, will begin their tournament on June 16, 2026 against Senegal.
