Recent reports suggested that Real Madrid’s medical staff potentially misdiagnosed a knee injury sustained by Kylian Mbappe. These claims alleged that the club’s doctors examined the incorrect knee during initial tests, causing the French forward to play in three matches before the accurate diagnosis was established.
While Real Madrid’s medical department has faced scrutiny before, Mbappe himself has now clarified the situation. During France’s training camp on Wednesday, he informed the media that the reports of a misdiagnosis were “totally false,” emphasizing consistent and clear communication with medical personnel.
Mbappe’s knee issue has been a significant concern. The problem first surfaced in December, leading to a few weeks on the sidelines before his January return. However, it soon became evident he wasn’t fully recovered, prompting a decision in February for him to prioritize complete recuperation, which he has now achieved.
Real Madrid’s Apprehension Over Mbappe’s International Call-Up
Nevertheless, Real Madrid views Mbappe’s current presence at France’s U.S. training camp as less than ideal. Having only recently returned to play against Manchester City, he is not yet considered fit enough to start for Alvaro Arbeloa’s team. A potential relapse during international duty would be catastrophic for Los Blancos at this critical juncture of the season.
Real Madrid is keenly hoping Mbappe navigates the international break without any setbacks. Their aim is to have him fully fit for the remaining weeks of the season, where he is anticipated to be a crucial asset for Arbeloa’s squad in their pursuit of glory in both La Liga and the Champions League.
