Real Madrid are very likely to play without Kylian Mbappe when they take on Benfica in the second leg of their Champions League play-off on Wednesday night.
According to Goal, Mbappe picked up a knee problem during Tuesday’s training.
The Frenchman was forced to leave the session after complaining repeatedly about pain in his left leg. Tests later revealed that the 27-year-old will not be fit to face Jose Mourinho’s men.
This represents a big blow for Alvaro Arbeloa, despite Madrid leading 1-0 from the first leg.
It remains unclear how long Mbappe will be out of action tonight.
