Overview
- Kylian Mbappé, who spoke to reporters Wednesday before France faces Brazil, said reports that Real Madrid scanned the wrong knee are false.
- He said his left knee is fully recovered and he has joined France for two World Cup warm‑up friendlies in the United States.
- RMC Sport and The Athletic had reported that Madrid’s doctors first scanned his healthy right leg, a claim now disputed by the player.
- Real Madrid previously called the issue a left‑knee sprain with conservative care, and Mbappé later credited Paris specialists with the diagnosis that guided his rehab.
- Outlets also reported a Dec. 31 scan showing a partial posterior ligament tear and noted recent changes in Madrid’s medical staff, keeping the department under scrutiny.
