Mbappé Says Paris Second Opinion Fixed Knee as Reports Allege Real Madrid Examined Wrong Leg

The forward forecasts full availability for Madrid’s closing stretch.

Overview

  • Mbappé, who said Monday he found the “correct diagnosis” in Paris, outlined a plan to return at full speed for Real Madrid and be ready for France at the World Cup.
  • Multiple outlets, citing RMC’s Daniel Riolo and The Athletic, report Real Madrid’s medical team reviewed imaging of the wrong knee, which they say delayed the proper diagnosis.
  • Those reports link the episode to recent changes in Madrid’s medical department, though the club has not offered a detailed public account of the alleged error.
  • The captain has traveled with France for friendlies in the United States against Brazil and Colombia, with some coverage reporting Nike pushed for his inclusion on the tour.
  • Paris specialist Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet identified a partial posterior cruciate ligament tear and prescribed a non‑surgical muscular program, after which Mbappé said his knee pain eased.
