The French team: a look at the return of Kylian Mbappé, at his best in Real Madrid training

A controversy and it starts again. Criticized in recent days for taking a few days off in Dubai when he was withdrawn from the Blues due to inflammation in his right ankle, Kylian Mbappé is back with Real Madrid.

The French striker appeared fit in training this Friday, 48 hours before the trip to Elche. His right ankle appeared to be in good condition as he dribbled past compatriot Aurélien Tchouameni before finishing with his left foot, in action shared by the Spanish capital club on Instagram.

Bondynois, who shone at the start of the season by scoring 18 goals in 16 games, also shared a photo with a “back home” message, in which he performed an acrobatic move… with his right foot too.

Kylian Mbappé criticized in France

Amid the controversy in France, Kylian Mbappé is expected to start for Elche in the championship on Sunday evening (9pm). Former international and RMC consultant Jérôme Rothen spoke specifically about the “lack of respect” after reading the Blues captain’s holiday photos.

It was enough to make the president of the French football federation (FFF) Philippe Diallo react to L’Équipe: “I want to express all my support for Kylian Mbappé, because today, and this is not the first time this has happened, he was subjected to a form of harassment towards his private life that is still extraordinary. »

He regretted that the Blues striker “no longer has the ability” to “move, appear in public, do activities like other people, because of his enormous fame”. “Can we give him a little freedom and the ability to get a little oxygen in his still very busy life,” Diallo demanded.
