Back to Clairefontaine for the Blues! Four days before their appointment with Azerbaijan at the Parc des Princes, as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the players of the French team found themselves in their usual base camp this Monday afternoon. And as expected, Kylian Mbappé responded.
The tricolor captain, however, made a slight sprained of the right ankle on Saturday evening, during the victory of Real Madrid against Villarreal in Liga (3-1). And nothing says that he will be able to hold his place on Friday evening in Paris. “He had a little concern”confirmed Didier Deschamps at a press conference, adding that this glitch was not “Not crippling”.
Kylian Mbappé spared against Azerbaijan?
“Otherwise, he would not be there todayhe added, without testifying to particular concern about the striker Merengue. There are always injuries before the list, there may be after. I have no additional information today. The point will be made, regardless of the player and the club where he comes from, after their arrival. »»
To take no risk, and because the next opponent of the Blues is not so tough, “DD” could be tempted to leave Kylian Mbappé at rest. This would give him time to recover for a more delicate trip to Iceland next Monday. “We will take the time to take stock with the medical staff and to see the evolution”he concluded.
