Kylian Mbappé was not present with his Real Madrid colleagues on Wednesday, despite being scheduled to start training. Kylian Mbappé was excused from France’s last game on Sunday in Azerbaijan (1-3) on Friday. Kylian Mbappé was absent from Real Madrid’s training session on Wednesday. Unlike Dean Huijsen and Eduardo Camavinga, who were also rested during the international break, the striker did not travel to Valdebebas to have his ankle evaluated.
In regard to the French forward’s condition, Real Madrid is still composed. Madrid’s international players have been given many days off by the staff. As a result, Mbappé is anticipated to return to the group on Friday, ahead of a probable start against Elche on Sunday.
Ankle irritation was mentioned in an FFF communiqué, and Real Madrid’s medical team will investigate it further. Suspicions of a diplomatic injury increased when Mbappé chose to go to Dubai rather than return to the Spanish capital right away.

In an attempt to downplay the event, FFF president Philippe Diallo told L’Équipe that it was a non-topic. The captain of France has already returned to Spain, but according to L’Équipe, he did not participate in the training session on Wednesday, despite the fact that all of Real Madrid’s international players participated.
Along with all of Real Madrid’s other returning internationals, Mbappe missed Wednesday’s training session at Valdebebas. According to people close to the team, the absence was due to scheduled relaxation rather than a recent setback.
Real Madrid has granted its international players more time to heal following the November break under Xabi Alonso. The club is unconcerned about a slight ailment that has persisted since early October, and Mbappe is anticipated to return to full training on Friday and play against Elche in La Liga this weekend.
Careful load management is not surprising for a player with Mbappe’s fast pace and unrelenting schedule, but the Dubai diversion has once again placed the France captain in the limelight ahead of the European champions’ busy holiday season.
