a<\/span>Real Madrid are still preparing for the match against Celta Vigo and are also making adjustments in the medical department. Jude Bellingham has activated the same protocol as Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, seeking a second medical opinion abroad under the club’s direct supervision. Delayed problems with the semitendinosus muscle in his left leg were also key to his decision to seek diagnosis from another specialist.<\/p>\nAccording to the club, the Englishman had been in London for several days, accompanied by the head of medical services, as part of the normal external consultation system requested by Dr Nico Mihic (following MARCA’s exclusive report on Mbappe’s visit to France). It’s not a request from the players or a whim. According to Valdebebas officials, it is the contrary, and it is the club that will propose these second opinions if it considers them useful for diagnosis and optimizing deadlines. Real Madrid support Mbapp\u00e9 and Bellingham’s decision to go to their home countries and have no hesitation in defending Mihic’s approach.<\/p>\n
In defense of mihic law<\/h2>\n
This method is not new. For example, all cruciate ligament injuries are referred to the specialist Manuel Reyes, a trauma specialist who has worked with many Real Madrid players in the past. In the past, medical consultants such as Dan Cooper (Dallas Cowboys) and Chris Jones (Lakers) have also served as full advisors. The British player has been absent for over a month and it is a very delicate situation, so we have decided to seek another opinion on whether it is possible to shorten the time in order to bring him back as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
Mbapp\u00e9, against time<\/h2>\n
The similarities with Mbappe are clear. The Frenchman also visited to check on his health and is currently racing against time to be able to make contact on Wednesday. The club is confident of the conservative treatment he has begun, in time for next Wednesday’s important Champions League match at the Estadio Santiago Bernab\u00e9u. The Frenchman put himself in the hands of Bertrand-Sonnerie-C\u00f4t\u00e9, one of the world’s most renowned experts on knee injuries, to find a definitive solution.<\/p>\n
Although his existence is complicated, he still holds hope. He is currently working with the club’s fitness coaches in Paris and is expected to return on Friday. The final decision will depend on how he feels and how things evolve over the next few days, but it is unlikely that the Frenchman will return to the pitch anytime soon. Further good news this morning was Asensio’s return to the pitch. The centre-back played part of the group training sessions alone and the rest of the training sessions on his own, with the aim of helping the Vigo team in view of the absence of defenders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
