On Wednesday, October 2, Lille will host Real Madrid in the second round of the UEFA Champions League. The match was anticipated to feature a rare clash between the Mbappé brothers, but that will not happen, and not solely due to Kylian’s injury.
According to Le Parisien, Kylian Mbappé’s younger brother, Ethan, has suffered a quadriceps tear that will keep him out for 2 to 3 months.
The 17-year-old midfielder is scheduled for surgery tomorrow, after which a more accurate recovery timeline will be provided.
Kylian Mbappé is also sidelined for 2-3 weeks with a minor injury, preventing him from traveling with Real Madrid to France.
Ethan Mbappé has made 4 substitute appearances in all competitions this season.
