Football – Mbappé denies knee issues
Injured in recent weeks in his left knee, Kylian Mbappé has been making headlines lately. When examining his injury at the beginning of December, Real Madrid doctors reportedly examined the wrong knee, as revealed by RMC and the Spanish media. Quizzed about this before facing Brazil with the French team, the striker denied it. “The information that they examined the wrong knee is not true. I may be indirectly responsible for this situation. When you do not communicate about what you have or what is happening, it opens the door to interpretations and everyone jumps on the bandwagon, that’s the game,” highlighted Mbappé, who is expected to start against Brazil in the United States on Thursday night (9:00 pm).

Godon remains the overall leader with an 11-second lead over Evenepoel.
