Kylian Mbappé denies reports that Real Madrid medical staff examined the wrong knee Rumors had been circulating for several days, and Kylian Mbappé decided to address them. In a press conference before the friendly match between the French team and Brazil in Boston on Thursday at 9 p.m., Mbappé denied the information that Real Madrid’s medical staff had examined the wrong knee at the time of his injury.
According to Marca, the MRI scan for the diagnosis was done on the right leg, while the French captain was dealing with an issue in his left knee. This mistake reportedly irritated the striker, leading to a “monumental rage,” as per the Spanish media.
After returning to competition following 24 days off and missing five matches, Mbappé assured on Wednesday that this error never occurred. He stated, “The information that they examined the wrong knee is not true. As I said, I may be indirectly responsible for this situation because when you don’t communicate, you leave the door open to interpretations. With Real Madrid, we have always had fairly clear communication, whether it’s in Madrid or in Paris where I was accompanied by the doctor and the physio.”
Earlier in the week, Mbappé had already addressed rumors about his health during the announcement of his investment in the health insurance company Alan. He mentioned, “Many people have given diagnoses even though until recently, I didn’t have one. I heard a lot of things: surgery, he can’t play again, he can’t play in the World Cup. The diagnosis I received was on a specific date that I can’t disclose, but all the rumors before were completely false.”
