Real Madrid is still smarting from its 1-1 draw with Girona on Friday, but it was not just psychological damage that was inflicted on Los Blancos.
Superstar attacker Kylian Mbappé was hit with an elbow to his head and suffered a laceration above his right eyebrow. As such, the Frenchman missed training on Sunday (as captured by Get Spanish Football News):
Real Madrid star Kylian MbappĂ© played no part in group training alongside the rest of the clubâs squad on Sunday. This comes owing to ongoing discomfort stemming from developments in Los Blancosâ latest outing.
The aforementioned Mbappé featured from the off in the fixture, but was heavily criticised for the level of his disappointing performance. Not only that, but en route to an eventual 1-1 draw, the Frenchman suffered a physical setback. After feeling the force of an elbow in the face in the Girona penalty area, Mbappé went to ground in evident discomfort, with blood streaming from his brow.
