The last matches played without Kylian Mbappé resulted in a worrying statistic.
Caution prevailed. Despite the prestige of the poster, Didier Deschamps decided to do without the services of his captain against Germany on Tuesday. This is due to pain in the patellar tendon of the left knee.
And deprived of their best offensive asset, the Blues lost 2-1 in Germany, conceding their first defeat of the year after five victories without conceding a goal. Enough to maintain the idea that the French team cannot do it without the Parisian striker.
The vice-world champions have in fact not won any of the last four matches started without the Bondynois, having to settle for two draws, against Croatia (1-1) and Austria (1-1), in the League of Nations, last June, for two defeats, against Tunisia (1-0) during the last World Cup and therefore against Germany (2-1).
