Kylian Mbappé is at the center of discussions. The striker, officially the victim of ankle inflammation, left the Blues gathering after the World Cup qualifier against Ukraine. Having remained outside the trip to Azerbaijan for the last day of the qualifiers, he was to return to Madrid for additional examinations, according to the French Football Federation.
Except that the captain of the Blues was seen in Dubai, in a padel club, surrounded by celebrities. He even missed Real Madrid training on Wednesday. A timing which inevitably fuels the controversy around the player.
Brice Samba comes out of silence
Brice Samba, number 3 of the Blues and goalkeeper of Stade Rennais, wanted to defend his teammate this Thursday at a press conference.
“It’s you who is arguing”he said quoted by RMC. “We have no problem with that. I don’t know what happened or what they said to each other with the coach. If the coach says his ankle really hurts, he really hurts. I don’t see why we would make things up.”added the Frenchman.
The doorman rejects any idea of favoritism. “I see controversies that Kylian would have privileges but no one has privileges in the France team. We know the champion he is. I’m not going to go into details. You will have to ask the coach the question. But the facts are simply there”he concluded.
