Overview
- Kylian Mbappé rejected reports that Real Madrid scanned the wrong knee, saying the claim is false and that communication with the club was clear.
- L’Équipe reported that Eduardo Camavinga’s left‑ankle injury on December 3, 2025 was assessed on the right ankle instead, which led to him being cleared, included for Celta Vigo days later, and then sidelined for roughly two weeks.
- Coverage differs by outlet, with RMC Sport and The Athletic relaying the original ‘wrong knee’ allegation, L’Équipe detailing Camavinga’s case, and Mbappé’s denial carried by reporters such as Fabrizio Romano and by international media.
- L’Équipe also reported that Mbappé told club president Florentino Pérez he prefers treatment from Paris specialist Christophe Baudot over Real Madrid’s staff, a claim the club has not confirmed.
- Context from team statements and match logs shows Mbappé injured his left knee in December 2025, Madrid labeled it a sprain on December 31, he played sporadically in January and February, then had further tests in Paris this month and now says both knees feel good.
