- 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.
