Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé suffered a “muscle overload” in his left hamstring during the team’s 1-1 draw against Real Betis in La Liga, a club source told AFP on Friday.

Mbappé asked to be substituted in the final 10 minutes of the match, which left Madrid eight points behind league leaders FC Barcelona.

The France captain’s issue does not appear to be serious, pending further medical tests, easing concerns ahead of the World Cup this summer.

“I have no idea (how Mbappe is); he had some discomfort, and we will see how it develops in the coming days,” said coach Álvaro Arbeloa when asked by reporters about the forward, Madrid’s top scorer, after the game.

On Wednesday, Barcelona’s teenage winger Lamine Yamal suffered a hamstring injury that ruled him out until the end of the season, although he is expected to recover in time for the World Cup with Spain.
