Mbappé sets record straight: “I’m 100%… what’s been said about my knee is false”
Mbappé confirmed at an event marking Alan's tenth anniversary that he is now fully recovered from his knee injury and that false things have been said.
During an event celebrating the 10th anniversary of Alan — the company he just signed a new partnership with — Kylian Mbappé made it clear that he’s fully recovered from the knee injury that had been lingering since last year. He also pushed back against the wave of rumors surrounding his condition, saying “a lot of false things” were reported.
Knee bother
“My knee is fine. It’s getting better. It’s doing really well, and I know there’s been a lot of speculation and false information,” Mbappé said. “That’s part of life for a high‑level athlete. We’re used to people saying things without checking and without any real basis.”
Mbappé officially became an ambassador for Alan on Monday, supporting the company’s work in workplace‑risk management.
The Real Madrid star — who will travel to the United States with the France squad on Tuesday for friendlies against Brazil and Colombia — added that he’s now completely pain‑free.
“I’m 100% recovered. In Paris, I was able to get the right diagnosis, and together we built a plan to get me back to my best level for Real Madrid and with the World Cup in mind.”
