Flu stops Mbappé from training, Nations League crucial

On Tuesday afternoon, Kylian Mbappé did not take part in the French national team's training at Clairefontaine. The French staff confirmed that a flu had left him bedridden, even though he will need to score in the Nations League to hope for the Ballon d’Or.

According to doctors, fever and muscle aches prevented the striker from joining the group session. The session, scheduled at Clairefontaine, continued without him. The diagnosis was confirmed by the French medical staff.

The other players, however, were present. They spent part of their time with the supporters, taking photos and signing autographs.
