New star of French sport, Victor Wembanyama reacted to the probable absence of Kylian Mbappé at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

A priori, Kylian Mbappé will not compete in the Olympic Games. If the player's desire is to compete with them and that of Thierry Henry, the coach of the France Espoirs team, to retain him among the three players over 23 authorized, the chances of seeing him with the Bleuets this summer ( from July 26 to August 11) have further thinned significantly in recent days.

According to The TeamReal Madrid has effectively informed the French Football Federation that it does not intend to release its internationals for Paris 2024. If the Parisian striker joins the White House in the off-season, which now seems almost certain, he will therefore have to be content with playing Euro 2024 with Didier Deschamps' Blues.

Wembanyama disappointed for Mbappé

His absence would obviously be bad news for the French U23s, but also for the entire French delegation. Close to the former Bondy prodigy, Victor Wembanyama, who will normally be summoned by Vincent Collet to the French basketball team, already regrets not being able to share this event with the Paris Saint-Germain star.

“I know that in football, it’s not necessarily the same as in other sportsreacted the San Antonio Spurs rookie, after his XXL performance against the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA. It is certain that all French people, myself included, would like to see him on the pitch as much as possible. » But as the Games are not on the FIFA calendar, it is the clubs which have the last word.
