Before the most recent round of 2026 World Cup qualifiers, France coach Didier Deschamps announced on Monday that Kylian Mbappe will have his right ankle examined.
The France captain’s knock ended Real Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Villarreal on Saturday, putting doubts on his availability for the national team’s upcoming qualifying games against Azerbaijan and Iceland.
Deschamps addressed reporters at the French team’s Clairefontaine base near Paris, telling them, “I spoke with Kylian, he had a small niggle, but it’s not serious,” Deschamps said.
“We will take the time to assess the situation and observe how it develops with the medical staff.”
We’ll take stock (then) as usual, he said, “I don’t have any further information at this point because the players will be arriving around 4pm (1400 GMT).”
