Mbappe ruled out of Real Madrid vs Benfica Champions League clash
Real Madrid will likely face Benfica in the Champions League second leg without Kylian Mbappe after he suffered a knee injury during Tuesday's training. The 27-year-old Frenchman left the session complaining of persistent pain in his left leg, with subsequent tests confirming he won't be fit to play against Jose Mourinho's team. This significant blow comes despite Madrid leading 1-0 from the first leg. Mbappe's absence remains a major uncertainty for Alvaro Arbeloa's squad as they prepare for Wednesday's match.
