Real Madrid have confirmed that Ibrahima Konaté has been diagnosed with an injury to the collateral ligament of his right leg.
The French centre back has now left the national team camp after medical examinations confirmed the injury. Konaté will return to Real Madrid, where the club’s medical staff will continue to assess his condition and determine the expected recovery period.
The setback comes at an important stage of the season, with Konaté having established himself as a key option in Real Madrid’s defence since arriving at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The France international joined Real Madrid during the summer and was officially presented as the club’s new defender, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career. His arrival strengthened the defensive options available to the Spanish giants as they compete across multiple competitions.
Softfootball reports that Konaté’s latest injury will now be closely monitored by Real Madrid, with the club expected to provide further updates on his recovery as more information becomes available.
For now, the priority will be ensuring the defender makes a full recovery before returning to competitive action. The exact length of his absence has not yet been confirmed, leaving Real Madrid waiting for further medical assessments before establishing a clearer timeline.
Konaté’s departure from the France camp also means he will miss the opportunity to continue working with the national team during the current international period as he begins his recovery. Consequently, the medical staff will closely monitor his rehabilitation process back at his club to ensure a swift return
