France captain Kylian Mbappe missed Wednesday’s team training session and is currently “under treatment,” according to the national team’s coaching staff. Officials did not disclose specific details regarding the 27-year-old forward’s physical condition following the training absence.
The Real Madrid star recently rejoined the national squad after a spell on the sidelines that caused him to miss the previous three matches. Earlier this autumn, Mbappe scored the winning goal during a September Nations League victory over Turkiye but was forced to exit the field shortly after due to pain in his left knee.
Despite his recent injury history, Mbappe has maintained regular playing time for Real Madrid. He scored during a 3-0 La Liga victory against Valencia last Saturday and currently holds the position of second-highest scorer in the Spanish top flight with 13 goals, trailing Barcelona’s Raphinha by two. The Frenchman scored in Real’s 3-0 away win over Valencia in La Liga on Saturday, shortly before this international break.
France currently leads Group A1 in the Nations League with three wins and one draw. The team remains in a strong position to qualify for the quarterfinals ahead of their final two group-stage matches: Thursday’s encounter against Italy in Milan and a Sunday fixture against Turkiye in Bordeaux.
