Real Madrid megastar’s entourage ‘shocked’ by medical team’s shocking error

As audacious as it sounded at first, Real Madrid’s medical staff did indeed make the error they are being mocked for across the world and the criticism is warranted.

When diagnosing Kylian Mbappe’s knee setback earlier this season, back in December, they evaluated his right knee and found no abnormality, clearing him to continue playing without any restriction.

His discomfort and injury, however, was in the left knee and it is embarrassing how the medical department got the leg in question wrong, faltering at the first step in the diagnosis.

As revealed by RMC Sport (h/t The Madrid Zone ), Mbappe’s entourage is shocked at Real Madrid for such a rookie error by their medical staff which could have endangered the French winger’s wellbeing.

They do not understand how such a massive club could make a mistake like that and are stunned by how big a mistake was made.

Mbappe and their entourage, needless to say, are well within their right to be disappointed and frustrated with the medical team. Had Mbappe continued to go by the word of the medical staff, he would have aggravated his condition under the false assurance that he was fit.

His participation in the business end of the season and the upcoming FIFA World Cup, needless to say, could have been threatened in such a scenario.

So, it did not come as a surprise to see Mbappe seek a second opinion in France when he had a relapse of his knee injury last month.

As it stands, Los Blancos have not fired anyone for the errors made and it remains to be seen if the spread of word in the media has any bearing on the same.
