French national team head coach Didier Deschamps has announced that team leader Kylian Mbappé has suffered another ankle injury. The specialist spoke about this after the World Cup qualifying match against Azerbaijan (3:0).
In the 83rd minute, the Real Madrid player requested to be substituted. After his condition, the team's doctors and Deschamps expressed serious concern.
"This is his previously injured leg. Now, as Kylian rests, the pain is lessening, but anything can happen during the game. We are closely monitoring this situation. He feels uncomfortable, which is not a good sign," Deschamps said in an interview with journalists.
The specialist emphasized that despite this, Mbappe provided significant support to the team throughout the game and maintained a high level of physical fitness. However, until the doctors fully assess his condition, the player will rest as a precautionary measure.
Kylian Mbappé has made 13 appearances for Real Madrid this season. He has 15 goals and 2 assists.
The injury of the French national team captain is being watched with great interest by the football community. Especially before the European Championship qualifiers, Mbappé's health remains one of Deschamps' main concerns.
Doctors are expected to re-examine his condition in the coming days and provide a definitive conclusion later.
