US EditionKylian Mbappe Leaves France National Team to Treat Ankle Injury
Mbappé will miss the upcoming match after scoring twice to secure World Cup qualification; the French Football Federation cited injury risk as the reason.
- Kylian Mbappé is flying back to Madrid for scans after leaving France's camp due to right ankle inflammation, causing him to miss Sunday's match in Azerbaijan.
- After the Ukraine game on Thursday, Mbappé scored twice in a 4-0 win but reported right-ankle discomfort, leading the French Football Federation to deem the Azerbaijan match irrelevant and rest him.
- The French Football Federation released Mbappé after medical consultation following an initial medical examination, while teammate Eduardo Camavinga is returning to Madrid on Friday due to muscle soreness.
- Real Madrid will host the tests in the Spanish capital as Mbappé is already flying back to receive treatment for the ankle inflammation.
- With qualification settled, squad health took precedence over individual records as the Federation deemed risking Mbappé's fitness unnecessary despite being two goals shy of Olivier Giroud's record.
