Arriving on German soil on Wednesday to compete in Euro 2024, the players of the French team were able to discover their base camp at Bad Lippspringe, in Paderborn, in order to prepare for their European Championship. The competition will begin on Monday for the Blues against Austria and Didier Deschamps’ players have five days to settle in and have already been able to begin two first training sessions in Germany. Thursday, nearly 4,000 people came to encourage one of the big favorites for the coronation… but regretted not seeing Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) on the field.
Indeed, the captain of the Blues was absent from training Thursday afternoon and trained indoors, once again. First affected at the start of the rally by back pain, he did not start the friendly match against Canada (0-0), after receiving a blow to the left knee. In addition to this missed start to the preparation match, the new Real Madrid star has already missed his fourth collective training in 16 days since the start of the Blues rally.
Kylian Mbappé did not perform in training
According to The Team, the Blues staff wants to remain cautious and attentive to the feelings of their captain. And even if there is nothing serious, these repeated physical glitches raise a question as he had to quickly move on to high intensity after his complicated end to the season with Paris Saint-Germain, which had undermined him on a physical level, but also on a mental level as he explained at a press conference.
Moreover, The Parisian indicates that his last collective training was surprising by its lack of technical quality, specifying “a total of failed checks and surprising choices” for the neo-Madrilenian. Something to worry about a few days before the Blues kick off at Euro 2024, against Austria, even though they scored a goal and two assists against Luxembourg (3-0). There will therefore only be a few days left for Didier Deschamps and his staff to ensure that Kylian Mbappé is in good physical shape.
