Real Madrid’s Medical Team Scans Wrong Leg, Misdiagnoses Mbappé

Real Madrid doctors accidentally performed an MRI on Kylian Mbappé’s uninjured right knee while his left leg was actually in pain. The scan showed no damage and he played three matches despite swelling in the injured knee. An X-ray of his left leg later revealed a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament. However, the club’s end-of-year medical report described it only as a “knee sprain” and advised a cautious rehabilitation plan. He missed the Spanish Super Cup semi-final and was limited in the final loss to Barcelona. Under a new coach, Mbappé scored nine goals in ten appearances before the knee problem recurred. He then returned to Paris for further tests and specialized treatment.
