Kylian Mbappé Denies Reports of Misdiagnosis by Real Madrid

Posted on March 26, 2026, updated on March 26, 2026

Kylian Mbappé has responded to recent allegations that Real Madrid misdiagnosed his knee injury by examining the wrong knee. After sustaining the injury during a match against Celta Vigo in December, Mbappé continued to play before a proper diagnosis confirmed a knee sprain.

Reports, initially circulated by French media and later picked up by Spanish outlets, claimed that the medical team mistakenly scanned Mbappé's healthy right knee instead of the injured left one. However, Mbappé firmly denied these assertions, insisting, "The information that they examined the wrong knee is not true."

He acknowledged that his own lack of communication about his injury may have contributed to public speculation, remarking, "When you don't communicate about what you have and what is going on, it leaves the door open to interpretation."

Despite the injury sidelining him for over three weeks, Mbappé emphasized that the team has performed well in his absence. He returned as a key player in the Champions League and domestic matches, highlighting his commitment and fitness as he prepares for upcoming fixtures, including a friendly against Brazil.

This season is crucial for both Mbappé and Real Madrid as they aim for success, and his focus remains on contributing positively to the team's performance moving forward.
