Mbappé misses France training with ankle pain | OneFootball

The captain of the French national team, Kylian Mbappé, did not train this Monday due to a "small problem" in his right ankle, which he may recover from during the current FIFA Data period, according to coach Didier Deschamps.

Mbappé and defender Ibrahima Konaté, with pain in his right thigh, will be away from the group on Tuesday as they recover, according to the 'Bleus' technical committee.

“I exchanged a few words with Kylian. He had a small problem, but it is not insurmountable. Otherwise, he would not have come today. We will talk with the medical team to assess the situation and then see how things evolve,” Deschamps announced in a press conference at the Clairefontaine training center.

The 'Bleus' are preparing for the 2026 World Cup Qualifying matches against Azerbaijan and Iceland.

This Monday, Paris Saint-Germain striker Bradley Barcola joined the list of absentees, which already includes Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Marcus Thuram.

Barcola was replaced by Florian Thauvin, 2018 world champion who has not played for France since June 2019.

Leader of their group with two wins in two matches, the two-time world champion (1998 and 2018) hosts Azerbaijan on Friday, at 3:45 pm (Brasília time), at Parc des Princes, in Paris, and travels to face Iceland on Monday, also at 3:45 pm.
