"He felt some discomfort. We'll see how he evolves over the next few days."Reports in Spain said the issue was in his left hamstring, with further tests set to take place Saturday.Madrid next visit Espanyol on May 3, before their Clsico clash with Barcelona a week later.Mbapp has scored 24 goals in 28 league appearances this season.He is also set to be a key player for France at this summer's World Cup. France, finalists at the last two World Cups, will kick off their tournament on June 16 against Senegal.Madrid, meanwhile, have now won just one of their last six matches in all competitions."When games are so tight, these things can happen," Arbeloa said. "And we didn't have a lot of luck."Arbeloa said Madrid should have been awarded a penalty kick, after Brahim Daz's shot was blocked by defender Ricardo Rodrguez's hand at close range."It's a clear penalty, with the arm out," the coach said. "There isn't much else to see, it's very clear ... They're decisions that affect the game a lot."
