Mbappé reveals all regarding knee injury speculation: “the information is not true”
The French forward spoke ahead of the game against Brazil.
Kylian Mbappé spoke to the media ahead of France’s game against Brazil, where a variety of issues were addressed.
The player has been in the spotlight ever since his knee injury began to cause so much pain he was forced to sit on the sidelines and watch Real Madrid’s season play out from afar.
Now, however, he is back, and ready to go for Les Bleus.
“I have never been and never am a player who regrets things,” he told the press when asked about his injury. “I think about the present and the short-term future. I am glad to be feeling good in both knees. In part, I owe it to my club. I am very happy to be here, in form, and fit.”
“I’m ready to play, ready to start. The manager will make the decision.”
Among other questions regarding the upcoming game, Mbappé was prodded, if I may say so, a little more on his injury, and specifically regarding a number of reports that had circulated in the past 24 hours, adding to the confusion regarding his recovery.
“The information that they examined the wrong knee is not true,” he revealed, adding that “I could be indirectly responsible. When there is no communication, everyone speculates and takes advantage of the situation, that’s how things work."
He made clear that “we have always had quite a clear communication with Real Madrid. We are in an important moment in the season, I wanted the team to win games. When I got injured at the start of January, I wasn’t there, everyone thought I was the only solution the club had, and it wasn’t like that.”
