**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe will miss at least the upcoming derby against Atletico Madrid after suffering a hamstring injury, the club announced Wednesday.

Tests revealed an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. While Madrid did not specify a recovery time, it is certain Mbappe will be sidelined for Sunday’s match. He could also miss France’s upcoming Nations League matches against Israel and Belgium.

The injury was diagnosed following Tuesday’s 3-2 win over Alaves, where Mbappe scored his seventh goal for Madrid since joining the club this season. He was substituted in the 80th minute after feeling discomfort.

Mbappe’s absence is a significant blow for Madrid, who will be aiming to maintain their strong start to the season. The French striker currently leads the club’s scoring charts and sits just one goal behind Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski in the league’s top scorer race.
