Did Mbappé's new boots cause his injury?

Kylian Mbappé has raised concerns after suffering a left knee injury during France's match against Turkey, having scored the winning goal before leaving the pitch due to pain in the same area. He will return to Madrid for further tests to determine the extent of the injury and how long he will be sidelined.

According to "Mundo Deportivo", the injury is linked to the tendon of the left knee, but the severity and duration of the player's absence from the pitch have not yet been determined. In this context, speculation has arisen linking the injury to the new boots that Mbappé wore for the first time during the match.

Kylian Mbappé has recently joined On after ending his partnership with Nike, and he showcased the first model of his shoes during the match against Turkey. Some fans and even a number of experts in the health field believe that changing the shoe's characteristics could be one of the factors related to the injury.

Several injury doctors and experts in the sports field explained that a sudden change in the shape of the shoe, the pressure of the studs, the stiffness and height of the sole, the degree of shock absorption, and the overall weight can slightly affect the way forces are transmitted through the feet, ankles, knees, and posterior muscle chains.

Mundo Deportivo emphasizes that the new boots have not been officially identified as the cause of Mbappé's injury, and thus the link between the two remains merely a circulating explanation, pending medical examinations that will determine the nature of the injury to the Real Madrid star and the duration of his absence.
