France team: Touched in the calf, Kylian Mbappé leaves the Blues

Hard blow for the Blues. Touched in the calf during the draw conceded against Bosnia (1-1), Kylian Mbappé is forfeited for the next two games of the France team and left the rally this Thursday at the end of the afternoon.

The examinations carried out earlier in the day had been reassuring. The PSG striker does not suffer from any injury. But the tricolor staff did not wish to take the slightest risk. And after discussions with Paris, the native of Bondy was released and made available to his club, where he will be treated.

“Wednesday in Strasbourg, at the end of the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina (1-1), Kylian Mbappé felt a pain in his right calf which does not allow him to participate in the next two matches of the French team, in Ukraine Saturday and against Finland in Lyon-Décines next Tuesday ”, explained the French Football Federation in a press release.

The withdrawal of the former Monegasque is an additional concern for Didier Deschamps, who has already had to recall Mattéo Guendouzi, Adrien Rabiot and Nordi Mukiele to the rescue. The French coach will have to do without the striker for the perilous trip to Ukraine, even if Mbappé remains in six games without scoring in the France team and his association with Karim Benzema and Antoine Griezmann has not yet the expected return.

For this meeting in the Ukrainian capital, where the reigning world champions, who remain in four draws, will try to win again, the coach has chosen not to recall a new player. And he will have to decide between Kingsley Coman and Anthony Martial to occupy the left flank of the tricolor attack.
