Mbappé on his recovery, dismisses claims over his injury | OneFootball

The French forward assured that he is already close to 100%, explained his stay in Paris for treatment, and addressed the rumors that circulated during his recovery.

Kylian Mbappé rejoined the French national team for the friendlies against Brazil and Colombia, after overcoming the knee injury that had caused concern 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 a medical response to a persistent pain. There, he said, he found the key to his recovery.

“My knee is doing well, I am recovering 100%. I was fortunate to find the correct diagnosis and, together, we were able to find the best plan,” he explained.

Mbappé detailed that for several weeks he couldn't understand the origin of the discomfort. “I underwent many tests, I didn't know why it hurt. Knowing is the first step to healing,” he added. The forward also addressed the rumors that circulated during his inactivity. “The things that were said were not true,” he stated, emphasizing that it is part of the exposure he has as a public figure.

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