The rumor grew louder as the day went on. This is now information: Kylian Mbappé will attend this Friday, December 26, the African Cup of Nations football match between Morocco and Mali scheduled for 9 p.m.
According to several sources, the Real Madrid and French team striker arrived this Thursday afternoon in Rabat with his parents and his little brother Ethan.
Moroccan media Le360 Sport explains that Mbappé was invited to the Atlas Lions’ second group match by his friend Achraf Hakimi. Both players wore the colors of PSG for several seasons.
Injured since November and the match between PSG and Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the captain of the Moroccan selection was spared during the victory (2-0) against the Comoros on Sunday in the opening match of the CAN but could make his return for Friday’s match.
Mbappé could not be the only international of the French team present in the stands of the Moulay-Abdallah stadium in Rabat since rumors announce the possible presence of Ballon d’or Ousmane Dembélé. Without certainties…
On the other hand, and as revealed by the Parisian, Désiré Doué was present on Wednesday in Marrakech to witness the victory (1-0) of the Ivory Coast against Mozambique. The Parisian was in the stands to encourage his brother Guéla, defender of the Elephants selection.
For the record, Zinédine Zidane attended the match of her son Luca, starting in goal for the Algerian selection, against Sudan on Wednesday.
