Mbappé spoke about his recovery and denied claims about his injury | OneFootball

The France forward said he is already close to 100%, explained his trip to Paris for treatment, and pushed back against the reports that circulated during his recovery.

Kylian Mbappé rejoined the France national team for the friendlies against Brazil and Colombia after overcoming the knee injury that had raised concerns ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The forward, who suffered a sprain in his left knee in December, decided to travel to Paris in search of medical answers for pain that would not go away. There, he said, he found the key to his recovery.

“My knee is doing well, I’m getting back to 100%. I was fortunate to get the right diagnosis and, together, we were able to find the best plan”, he explained.

Mbappé said that for several weeks he could not understand the source of the discomfort. “I had a lot of tests done, I didn’t know why it hurt. Knowing that is the first step toward healing”, he added. The forward also addressed the reports that circulated during his time out. “The things that were said were not true”, he said, stressing that it is part of the exposure that comes with being a public figure.

The injury occurred on December 7 in a match against Celta de Vigo. Since then, he lived with the pain until he decided to stop and recover fully. With the diagnosis confirmed and the treatment defined, Mbappé is aiming to be fit for the end of the season with Real Madrid and for the next World Cup.
