On Wednesday evening, the PSG Dominated the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France and qualified breast (3-1). A victory that could have been relegated to the background as Kylian Mbappé was the victim of a major foul that earned him a red card. Lillian Brazier. But above all, it is a miracle that the attacker PSG came out unscathed. As explained Jean-Bernard FabreA sports doctor specializing in physiology and biomechanics, Kylian Mbappé escaped very serious injury.
“In this type of case, nine times out of ten, things go wrong”
” In this type of case, nine times out of ten, things go wrong. We’d say it’s a minor miracle. Mbappé takes a diagonal tackle from behind that goes from heel to calf. When you look at the biomechanics, the fact that it takes a diagonal back tackle, it actually forces the heel to rotate inward. The problem is that it will affect the internal ligaments of the ankle. Typically, a classic ankle sprain affects the outer beam rather than the outer beam » It analyzes in column of ParisianBefore saying more.
“It’s so unbelievable”
” This proves that he has a ligament that is still quite flexible because when you watch the action, it looks like his ankle is doing a bungee jump. It’s quite incredible, especially since the knees can also suffer. If the heel was planted in the ground, there’s no way it wouldn’t break. It depends on the other, but it would be surprising if it didn’t hurt a bit. In any case, if he continues to play and doesn’t have a huge bump when he comes home, and is able to walk without a limp, it may be a very minor injury. There are still fibers inside the bundles and we can tear some of them without spraining them. He might be a little shocked. But if it is, he will quickly get treatment and recover », adds Jean-Bernard Fabre.
