Konaté returns to Madrid as Real stays calm over knee issue
The defender picked up a mild right-knee sprain and left the France camp; Real Madrid will run further tests and monitors his potential availability vs Villarreal.
Alarms briefly went off at Real Madrid over Ibrahima Konaté’s injury. Mundo Deportivo reports that the centre-back left the France camp because of a mild sprain in his right knee.
Risk-free call
As the outlet explains, Konaté underwent tests with the national team, which kept in constant contact with the club throughout. Even though the problem is described as light, France decided not to take chances and had him return to Madrid.
More checks for Real
Per Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid was updated at all times and will now carry out additional tests to determine the exact condition of the injury and set the next steps for his recovery.
With that context, the mood inside the club is positive: they do not rule out Konaté featuring on 10 October vs Villarreal at the Bernabéu, though everything will depend on how his knee evolves.
