Knee problems had been troubling Kylian Mbappé again and again over the past weeks and months. He was first sidelined in December, then returned for a few matches, before being ruled out again in February and March.
As 'The Athletic' now reports, among others, an error occurred during the MRI examinations in December. Apparently, the wrong leg was examined, and the mistake was only noticed later. The 27-year-old Frenchman therefore kept playing while injured and in pain.
Spanish media even reported that he could possibly miss the World Cup. However, that scenario did not come true.
But that is not the only reason why Real Madrid’s doctors are currently under scrutiny. Former nutritionist Itziar González also made serious allegations on Instagram.
She wrote in her story that the doctors had asked the free version of Chat GPT which supplements they should give the players — and that is exactly what they then gave them.
She had been fired by the club in December and had already made accusations against Los Blancos at the time. In an interview, she described Real Madrid’s medical staff as "ignorant, well-connected narcissists who only harm the players" and said the club should look for competent, educated people.
The doctors and physiotherapists allegedly instructed the players at the time to ignore the nutrition expert’s advice; in addition, she received no updates on the health status of the stars. Players who did work with her, however, reportedly saw clear improvements: no more fatigue or pain, far fewer cramps, greater agility, and more speed.
The latest reports surrounding Mbappé’s injury therefore once again cast the medical department of Los Blancos in a poor light.
