Real Madrid did not fire any medical staff after colossal blunder in Mbappe’s injury diagnosis

Real Madrid did not fire any medical staff after colossal blunder in Mbappe’s injury diagnosis Reports of the blunder made by Real Madrid’s medical team in diagnosing Kylian Mbappe’s injury recently are embarrassing and leave the club red-faced in front of the footballing community. After all, it is close to unbelievable that a professional club like Real Madrid who boast of some of the best players in the world can house such an incompetent medical team. Misdiagnosing an injury, after all, is one thing but evaluating the wrong leg is an error that is close to unforgivable for a medical professional, let alone a team of trained specialists.

No action taken A mistake of such magnitude, especially having gone public, would normally lead to serious consequences for the club staff involved but El Mundo reveals that Real Madrid have taken no such action. Los Blancos , in fact, did not fire anyone after learning of the disastrous error made by their medical team which comes as a surprising development. Mbappe suffered a knee injury in December which was misdiagnosed at Real Madrid.

What they did do after learning of it, however, was orchestrate the return of Dr Niko Mihic back into the club’s fold as the head of medical services. He was notably dismissed two years ago in 2023 after the club’s injury record turned for the worse.

It remains to be seen if the spread of this news in the media triggers any action against the medical staff, but it appears unlikely as it stands. Real Madrid, for their part, will be glad Mbappe got the right diagnosis eventually and did not aggravate his setback. Mbappe, meanwhile, returned from his latest injury just before the international break and is now with the French national team for the international break.
