The French team will return. This Thursday (9 p.m.) this Thursday in Stuttgart, the Blues will face Spain with a place for the final of the League of Nations. A Euro 2024 half-remake-like match won by La Roja (2-1).

On the eve of this meeting, Kylian Mbappé was expected at a press conference alongside Didier Deschamps at 5 p.m. But according to information from RMC Sport, the selection captain will not appear in front of the media. Ibrahima Konaté will replace him.

The “Kyk's” probably did not wish to face journalists. The latter would have undoubtedly assaulted him with questions about the coronation of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. He would also have been invited to comment on the Ballon d'Or and the chances of his compatriot and friend, Ousmane Dembélé.

Mbappé holder with Dembélé, Gifted and Cherki?

With Ibrahima Konaté, journalists' questions should turn more on this complicated meeting that awaits the Blues against La Roja. In the wake of this press point, Didier Deschamps' troop will perform a last training at 6 p.m.

Absent in front of the media, Kylian Mbappé should however be a holder in attack. On Wednesday, during a training in Clairefontaine, the tricolor coach had chosen to align the kid from Bondy with Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Rayan Cherki. It remains to be seen if he will reproduce this scheme Thursday evening.
