Mbappé Injury Sparks Controversy as Real Madrid Reportedly Overhauls Medical Team

French journalist Daniel Riolo recently claimed on the program After Foot RMC that Kylian Mbappé’s knee injury led Real Madrid to dismiss their entire medical staff.

He said on the show:
“For a knee sprain—even if it involves the lateral ligaments—if it’s only that level of injury, then for a club like Real Madrid, this is already outrageous.”
“I think the whole situation is absurd. I’m very surprised, and the fact that they replaced the medical team suggests there were already internal issues.”
“I don’t have insider information and I don’t want to speculate, but this situation is enough to make Mbappé think, ‘I should get a second opinion.’ Fortunately, he did. The doctor he later consulted told him it was only muscle edema, no surgery was needed, and he would still be able to play in the World Cup and the Champions League. It’s nothing serious—he could return in 15 days.”
“People in the industry are saying this whole incident with Real Madrid is so ridiculous it feels like something out of a movie. Some insiders have even claimed that the club’s medical staff scanned the wrong knee during Mbappé’s MRI.”
