Ammon News - France forward Kylian Mbappe has suffered hyperextension of the left knee, ​his club Real Madrid said on ‌Saturday.

The France captain has left the national team, having been forced to come off shortly ​after scoring the winner in ​Friday's 1-0 Nations League victory over ⁠Turkey.

The 27-year-old was treated after the ​goal and briefly returned to the pitch ​but went down again moments later and was unable to continue, prompting France coach Zinedine ​Zidane to replace him in ​the 58th minute of his first game in ‌charge.

"After ⁠the tests carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappe by Real Madrid's Medical Services, he has been diagnosed ​with a ​hyperextension ⁠of the posterior capsule of his left knee," read the ​statement.

The French Football Federation initially ​said ⁠Mbappe was suffering from a "knee tendon injury" and had returned to Madrid for ⁠further ​assessment.
Real next host Villarreal ​in LaLiga on October 10.
