Mbappé Denies Real Madrid Scanned Wrong Knee

Kylian Mbappé has firmly denied recent media reports alleging that Real Madrid examined the incorrect leg when he sustained a knee injury in December of last year. These claims, which circulated widely in Spanish media and were largely attributed to French broadcaster RMC Sport, suggested the club initially scanned his right knee instead of his left.

Speaking ahead of France's international matches, Mbappé stated unequivocally, "The report that said that they (examined) the wrong knee is false." He acknowledged that a lack of direct communication from his side might have inadvertently opened the door for such interpretations.

The club had officially announced in late December that Mbappé had sprained his left knee. Following a period of play in January, he was sidelined for three-and-a-half weeks. The star expressed that he experienced significant frustration, anger, and anxiety during this time, reaching a point of uncertainty about his condition.

However, Mbappé assured that his knee now feels fine and that the difficult period is definitively behind him. He has been used as a substitute in Real Madrid's recent matches as he continues to regain full match fitness.
