The rumor had been swelling for several days, and he decided to put an end to it. This Wednesday, in a press conference before the friendly match of the French team on Thursday against Brazil in Boston (9 pm), Kylian Mbappé denied the information that the Real Madrid medical staff had examined the wrong knee at the time of his injury.
According to Marca, the MRI carried out for the diagnosis was done on the right leg, while the captain of the Blues was suffering from the left knee. An error that would have annoyed the attacker, as reported by the Spanish media, who would have entered a “monumental rage.”
Returning to competition after 24 days of absence and five missed matches, Kylian Mbappé assured this Wednesday that this error had never occurred. “The information that says that they examined the wrong knee is not true,” he said. “As I said, I may be indirectly responsible for this situation because when you do not communicate, you leave the door open to interpretations. With Real Madrid, we have always had fairly clear communication, whether in Madrid or in Paris where I was accompanied by the doctor and the physiotherapist.”
On Monday, on the occasion of the announcement of his entry into the capital of the health insurance company Alan, the Bondynois had already addressed the rumors about his health. “Already, many people have given diagnoses when until recently, I had no diagnosis,” he said. “I heard a lot of things: surgery, he cannot play again, he cannot play in the World Cup. The diagnosis, I got it on a very specific date, which I cannot disclose, but all the rumors before were completely false.”
