Real Madrid Star Examined Incorrectly; Mbappé Denies Knee Rumors

New claims around Real Madrid’s treatment of players resurfaced after revelations involving Eduardo Camavinga. Multiple outlets say Kylian Mbappé was affected by an alleged medical error.

Allegations and media follow-up

Filmogaz.com notes RMC Sport journalist Daniel Riolo reported that the wrong knee was examined. El País, The Athletic and Marca later picked up the story.

Those reports suggested the error worsened Mbappé’s symptoms. The coverage revived questions about whether a Real Madrid star examined incorrectly influenced player care.

Details from the reports

Journalists claimed Mbappé played matches while in pain. He then missed five games between late February and mid-March.

Marca said the France forward consulted a knee specialist in Paris and felt furious. The reports also linked the alleged misdiagnosis to staff departures.

Mbappé’s reaction and fitness update

At a France press conference, Mbappé denied the specific claim. He said the report that the wrong knee was examined was not true.

He accepted partial responsibility for limited communication. Mbappé also insisted there were clear agreements with his club about treatment.

Current status and comments

The 2018 World Cup winner and France captain said both knees now feel fine. He thanked the club for his current fitness and said he is happy to be fit.

The phrase Mbappé denies knee rumors has circulated widely. The player rejected the narrative while confirming he sought specialist advice in Paris.

Medical staff changes at the club

RMC Sport reported the alleged misdiagnosis helped trigger a medical shake-up at the start of the year. Several staff members left amid the controversy.

After a dismissal at the end of 2023, Dr Niko Mihic was rehired as head of the medical department. The team had been reorganised the previous summer.

Broader context

Staff turnover in Real Madrid’s medical department follows patterns seen during injury spikes. Departures often follow complaints about too many injuries.

Observers say the recent events add pressure on the club to clarify medical protocols. Filmogaz.com will monitor any new developments closely.
