Real Madrid's Alonso unsure of Mbappe absence length

The French striker was diagnosed with a knee strain on Wednesday, expected to keep him out for at least three weeks. "We'll try to make it happen quickly, it depends a lot on how he feels, but we'll try to get him back as quickly as possible," Alonso told a news conference. "When is as soon as possible? That's the question. I don't know." The coach said he hopes Mbappe will be back to take part in the Spanish Super Cup, with Los Blancos facing rivals Atletico Madrid in the semi-final on January 8.
