Kylian Mbappé’s last trip continues to cause a lot of ink to flow. For the French team’s match in Azerbaijan, Didier Deschamps had to cope without his captain, officially injured in the ankle and authorized to leave the gathering to take exams in Madrid.
Except that the striker finally flew to Dubai, without participating in the training scheduled for Wednesday with his club. This gap between federal discourse and reality has reignited the controversy around player management.

“We are being lied to”
The journalist says he understands the player’s absence in Baku, but not the communication around it. “It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t go to Baku, but they say he is injured and is going to be treated in Madrid, and finally he ends up in Dubai.

Even if he had been there, he might not have started, or even played at all.”he says. “For me, it’s a non-issue. »
