Rumor quashed! Mbappé personally denies the claim of a wrong knee scan, affirming ongoing close collaboration with the medical team!
27 Mar 2026 GMT+7 — Kylian Mbappé, the striker and captain of the French national team, has dismissed a hot social media rumor alleging that his club, Real Madrid, made a serious error by scanning the wrong knee during his injury last year.
At a pre-match press conference before the friendly against Brazil, Mbappé took the opportunity to clarify the facts himself to prevent further misunderstanding among fans, confirming that he is now fully fit and ready to help the team pursue success.
"The information claiming they scanned the wrong knee is not true," Mbappé stated clearly. "I may bear some indirect responsibility for this situation because when we fail to communicate about who we are or what is happening, it leaves room for misinterpretation, and everyone rushes to fill that gap."
Additionally, he emphasized that the entire treatment process involved professional coordination throughout.
"Currently, with Real Madrid, we have maintained clear communication at all times, whether when I was starting rehabilitation in Madrid or while I was in Paris. I have been cared for by the club’s doctors, physiotherapists, and fitness coaches, working together from Paris. So there has been no issue whatsoever in that regard."
