All eyes are currently on Real Madrid’s medical department. The management of Kylian Mbappé’s knee injury has been the subject of scrutiny after RMC Sport reported that the La Liga giants did tests on the wrong knee.
Mbappé began having issues back in December and it is only now in March, months later and following treatment in Paris earlier this month, that the issue has been resolved. Mbappé has denied that Real Madrid did tests on the wrong leg, although he has confirmed that he felt “frustration, anger, and worry” regarding the issue.

L’Équipe report that, following treatment in Paris, Mbappé called Florention Perez to inform him that he would no longer be treated by Real Madrid’s medical staff, but instead by Christophe Baudot, who treated him in Paris, and whom he knows from his time at PSG. The publication also reports an underlying lack of trust on behalf of the Real Madrid players towards Real Madrid’s medical department. This has been the case for several years.
In addition, L’Équipe understands that a similar mistake was made with Eduardo Camavinga. The Frenchman suffered an ankle injury at the start of December. The MRI was done on the wrong leg. As a result, he was back on the bench just days later, before then being ruled out for a further two weeks.
