Captain of the France team, Kylian Mbappé will also not appear at a press conference on the eve of the friendly match against Germany. Antoine Griezmann will accompany Didier Deschamps again on Monday afternoon.
Promoted to captain of the France team after the retirement of Hugo Lloris in the wake of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Kylian Mbappé responded perfectly to the media exercise of the match eve press conferences, traditionally led by the coach and his captain. Last June, the French prodigy took advantage of the press briefing on the eve of facing Gibraltar to clarify things regarding his situation at PSG.
Since then, it has been radio silence. Mbappé let Antoine Griezmann, the vice-captain, accompany “La Dèche” before the reception of Greece, on June 19. This will be the case during the two pre-match conferences of the current international window. The captain of the Blues did not show up last Wednesday at the Parc des Princes (on the eve of hosting Ireland) and will not do so this Monday (4:30 p.m.) at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, with France challenging the Germany Tuesday evening (9 p.m.) in a friendly.
Mbappé was expected to answer questions from journalists this Monday and he would inevitably have been questioned about his troubled summer, he who ultimately stayed at PSG without anyone knowing if he will extend with the Parisian club while his contract ends in June 2024. Parisian supporters will not have any news on this subject. Proof of a scheduled departure next year for Real Madrid as a free player?
