This is very bad news for Kylian Mbappé. The captain of the Blues is due to fly this Thursday, October 12 to Amsterdam as part of the qualifying match between the France team and the Netherlands. But the player was forced to leave Clairefontaine the day before in the afternoon, according to our colleagues from the Team. Indeed, Kylian Mbappé has lost a loved one. Bereaved, he was able to go to his family after authorization from Didier Deschamps. The French player was able to return to Clairefontaine in the evening. He is expected at a press conference before the meeting. However, it may well be that the player does not speak up.
This meeting against the Netherlands is very important. Indeed, the qualification of the Blues for the Euro in 2024 depends on it. The French team must absolutely beat the opposing team or hope for a defeat for Greece which faces Ireland. A decisive match for the whole team but also for Kylian Mbappé who will wear the captain’s armband. Last January, after 14 years of presence within the France team, Hugo Lloris announced that he was ending his international career. Thus, Didier Deschamps had to appoint a new captain.

A choice which turned to Kylian Mbappé. But in the France team, another player would have liked to wear this armband: Antoine Griezmann. The player was then disappointed with the coach’s choice. “IHe was disappointed, that’s understandable. I told him that in his place, I would have had the same reaction. He is perhaps the most important player of the Deschamps era. I am not his superior, Kylian Mbappé declared. The latter will have to show that he knows how to lead a team at the highest level.
