Kylian Mbappé once again at the center of a huge controversy

New controversy surrounds Kylian Mbappé

A new standoff appears to be brewing between the French Football Federation and Real Madrid, this time revolving around Kylian Mbappé. The French striker, who has been struggling with an ankle issue for several days, remains a doubt for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Iceland. According to reports from Spain, notably relayed by journalist Edu Aguirre on El Chiringuito, Real Madrid has not received any contact from the FFF medical staff regarding the player’s physical condition.

This lack of communication is fueling an already tense atmosphere between the federation and the major European clubs. Madrid, keen to protect its star and adhere to its internal medical protocols, fears that the French national team might take unnecessary risks. On their side, the FFF is counting on its captain to lead Les Bleus during this crucial international break. This situation could quickly escalate into an open conflict between the two institutions, with Mbappé finding himself, perhaps unwillingly, at the heart of a power struggle between national duty and the protection of his physical well-being.
