‘Completely false’ – Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa responds to Kylian Mbappe misdiagnosis
‘Completely false’ – Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa responds to Kylian Mbappe misdiagnosis Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa has vehemently denied reports that Kylian Mbappe’s knee injury was misdiagnosed initially by their medical staff in December. He also confirmed that after four months out of action, Eder Militao was fit to play again. Mbappe spent the best part of three months battling knee problems, seemingly unable to get healthy.
His recent absence of three weeks was his longest yet, as he traveled to France for a second opinion. Last week it was reported that Real Madrid had scanned the wrong knee initially in December, hence the delay in resolving the issue, which was denied by Mbappe too. Arbeloa followed suit on Friday.
“What Kylian has said these past few days, it is completely false. It’s time to put his knee problem behind us and focus on his goals. He needs to get back to the level he’s shown he’s at.
” ‘Bellingham case was unusual’ – Arbeloa With both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid suffering significant injury blows during the international break, Arbeloa was pleased that his players came back without any issues. “The international players have all returned healthy, thankfully. And that’s the primary objective.
It’s been a very positive break for most of them, as they’ve been getting playing time. And we’re already aware of the demands of tomorrow’s match, because Mallorca needs the points just as much as we do. We’re ready.
