Leading French pundit Daniel Riolo may be about to get a phone call from Real Madrid.
The RMC Sport host has made some incredible claims about Kylian Mbappe’s knee problem, namely Madrid’s incompetence in treating it.
Mbappe has been in and out of the squad since late last year with recurring problems and then a media storm was created when he headed to France for specialist treatment, reportedly of his own accord.
Riolo recited the incident, saying: “He came to see one of the leading knee specialists in France. Meanwhile, we know there was a misdiagnosis in Madrid because he clearly wasn’t happy about it and was even angry.
“He came to consult a doctor (in France) who apparently determined that they had done a poor job in Madrid.
“It’s already pretty crazy that a club like Real Madrid, which, let’s remember, fired its medical staff in January, I believe.
“We were told it was because there were a lot of injuries at Real Madrid. I can say that it’s because the diagnosis of Mbappé’s knee was so catastrophic, and certainly worse than catastrophic since it was an absolutely major error.
“And that’s why they fired everyone, plus the string of injuries, but largely it was because of that.”
Riolo then levelled an extraordinary claim about Madrid’s medical team.
He continued: “What’s being said in ‘official circles’ is that the blunder is absolutely enormous
“They’re saying they examined the wrong knee at Real Madrid.”
After laughter from his co-pundits, he finished: “You think I’m talking nonsense? Real Madrid fired everyone. There you have it. Do you realize the humiliation for a club like Real Madrid?”
