Real Madrid defender Ibrahima Konaté has left France’s training camp after suffering a minor sprain in his right knee during training. He is returning to Madrid for further evaluation and rehabilitation by the club’s medical staff; officials have not given a definitive return date, and his recovery will determine when he can play again. France coach Zinedine Zidane has called up Manchester United defender Leny Yoro to replace him. The injury adds to Real Madrid’s defensive concerns, with several other players also sidelined.
