During Real Madrid’s 3-2 La Liga victory over Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappe requested to be taken off the pitch, according to head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The Frenchman is reportedly experiencing soreness in his left thigh and will undergo tests to see whether or not he is hurt, according to MARCA, which cited anonymous sources.

In the closing minutes of the half, Mbappe’s brilliant, inspired goal made it 2-0 at the Bernabeu, after Lucas Vazquez’s opening goal on 55 seconds.

Mbappe left the pitch with 80 minutes remaining and his team leading 3-0 after Rodrygo scored. This worried Los Blancos supporters because Mbappe failed to stop the opponents’ late comeback attempt.

He had concerns of his own, though, as Ancelotti said that Mbappe requested to leave the game “to avoid problems” despite maintaining that the striker is healthy.

“He’s very good, we’re doing very well in attack,” the Italian added after on Mbappe.

“The team performed admirably for an hour, searching for openings in a variety of methods, including during transitions and pass filtering… The timetable is really rigorous, but the squad is getting better, which is fantastic for us. Aside from that, Sunday will be extremely tough “with reference to the Madrid derby with Atletico.

Ancelotti stated that his midfielder Jude Bellingham is “growing” after playing “a very complete game” and laying a nice assist for Mbappe in last weekend’s 4-1 second half thrashing of Espanyol. The Englishman is returning from injury.
