Press review: France without Mbappé against Iceland | OneFootball

This Sunday, October 12, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain without any direct element. There is only the French National Team, featuring Lucas Chevalier (23-year-old goalkeeper) and Lucas Hernandez (29-year-old defender), who will have to do without Kylian Mbappé (26-year-old forward) against Iceland this Monday evening during the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

L’Equipe –

A bit like when he was injured at PSG or when he left for Real Madrid during the summer of 2024, Mbappé's absence is presented as a minor drama for which almost special solutions need to be found. As if there weren't a group of great players alongside him.

Still, it's somewhat troublesome that Désiré Doué (20 years old) and Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) are also absent, even though they are important assets. At least, according to the latest news, PSG should have them back very soon.
