‘I got a good diagnosis in Paris’ – Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe on finally beating knee injury Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has revealed that it was back in Paris that he managed to get to the bottom of a persistent knee injury. The France international was criticised in the Spanish capital for returning home for a week to get a second opinion on the injury. Mbappe had been playing with pain in his knee for three months when he decided to stop, missing around three weeks of action.

He says that he is now back to his best though , and his return to France was key in that. “I’ve made a full recovery. I had the opportunity in Paris to get a good diagnosis.

And together we were able to design a plan to get back to my best level with Real Madrid and also with an eye toward the World Cup,” he told Diario AS . Mbappe denies World Cup interference One of the theories put out about Mbappe’s absence, which took on a life of its own in terms of speculation due to a lack of clarity, was that he was protecting himself for the World Cup this summer. Mbappe was not best-pleased by that suggestion though.

“There’s no debate. I’ve seen people talking about the World Cup. I’ve played in two World Cups.

I won one and reached the final in the other. How did I prepare for the World Cups? By playing every match with my club.
