Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe experienced a muscle overload in his left hamstring during the club’s 1-1 draw against Real Betis in La Liga, according to a club source. The France national team captain requested to be substituted in the final 10 minutes of the match held in Madrid.

The injury has raised some initial concern, but further tests are expected to determine the severity of the issue. Early indications suggest the problem is not serious, which is a relief for both the player and club as Mbappe prepares for the upcoming World Cup this summer.

The draw leaves Real Madrid trailing league leaders Barcelona by eight points, underscoring the pressure on the squad as the season progresses. Despite the setback, the club remains optimistic about Mbappe’s fitness moving forward, with medical staff closely monitoring his condition.
