Kylian Mbapp\u00e9\u00a0will be assessed after suffering a mild ankle sprain in\u00a0Real Madrid\u2018s\u00a03-1 win\u00a0over\u00a0Villarreal\u00a0on Saturday, coach Xabi Alonso has confirmed.<\/p>\n

Forward Mbapp\u00e9 was substituted in the 83rd minute at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, two minutes after scoring Madrid\u2019s third goal \u2014 a strike which made it a career-best nine consecutive games scoring for club and country.<\/p>\n

Madrid will play next on Oct. 19, with LaLiga taking a break for international matches this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say [Mbapp\u00e9 won\u2019t go away with\u00a0France],\u201d Alonso said in his postmatch news conference. \u201cRight now he has some discomfort. They\u2019ll have to evaluate it with the national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope it isn\u2019t serious. But right now we can\u2019t say anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

France are due to play Azerbaijan in World Cup qualifying on Friday, followed by Iceland three days later.<\/p>\n

Mbapp\u00e9 passed up the opportunity to score earlier in Saturday\u2019s game, when he allowed\u00a0Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior\u00a0to take a penalty after the Brazilian was fouled in the box.<\/p>\n

Vin\u00edcius converted the spot kick for his second goal of the game, but Alonso said Mbapp\u00e9 remains Madrid\u2019s designated penalty taker.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The players] decided, but the taker is Kylian,\u201d Alonso said. \u201cWe believe in him. It was their decision but the first choice is Kylian.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alonso praised the performance of\u00a0Federico Valverde\u00a0at right back \u2014 after the midfielder was forced to release a statement this week denying that he had refused to play in the position \u2014 and described the impact of Vin\u00edcius as \u201cdecisive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVini had a very good game,\u201d Alonso said. \u201cI\u2019m very happy with him. I like seeing Vini smile and enjoy himself. He could have had a hat trick, which would have finished off the all-round game he had.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
