The Mbappé case is making people talk. Injured in the biceps femoris a few days ago, the Real Madrid striker surprised everyone by being available for the trip to Lille in the Champions League. In fact, the Spanish press had announced an absence of between two and three weeks. Recovered just seven days after his injury, the Bondynois was even able to play against the Mastiffs.
But yesterday, Didier Deschamps chose not to select him for the two Champions League matches against Israel and Belgium. “ I spoke with Kylian of course, because his situation is still uncertain, after his entry into play yesterday. He has a match on Saturday, in 48 hours. There are questions, the coach explained Thursday at a press conference. He has a problem that is not serious, but requires treatment to recover properly. I’m not here to take risks.»
Mbappé trained normally
Do not take Mbappé so that he gets back into shape with his club, the national coach’s speech is perfectly understood, especially since, in this season with an overloaded calendar, these two Nations League matches are far from being priorities . However, when asked about the absence of his player from the Blues, Carlo Ancelotti did not really mention a logical choice taken unanimously, even adding that his number 9 trained normally this Friday.
“I don’t want to comment on what the coaches say. Mbappé had a problem which seems to be resolved, but not 100%. He trained normally today. They decided not to summon him. (…) I don’t know if Mbappé spoke to his coach, but I know that the club’s medical staff spoke to his coach. » Will Mbappé be on the pitch against Villarreal this weekend? To be continued.
