Opluchting in Frankrijk Mbappé: back on training field
Relief swept through France as Kylian Mbappé was seen on the training pitch this morning, a clear sign of recovery. After exiting the quarter‑final against Morocco injured, the French star’s presence offers a stark contrast to the earlier concern overall.
At 07:58 today, Mbappé stood ‘just’ on the Franse nationale team’s training field, confirming his availability. The Frankrijk squad observed his movements closely.
In the quarter‑final versus Marokko, Frankrijk secured a 2‑0 victory but the super‑star had to leave the pitch injured. His departure sparked immediate worries among teammates.

Mbappé later clarified that the problem was minor, saying, “I have a tap on my ankle, but it’s okay.” He emphasized that the injury was not serious. The attacker, who plays for Real Madrid, joined the group training session without restriction. His involvement signals confidence from the coaching staff. Les Bleus are scheduled to meet Spanje on Tuesday in the semi‑final. The Frankrijk side will rely on Mbappé’s fitness as they aim for the final. The juxtaposition of a lingering injury scare with the visible relief of Mbappé’s training return underscores the team’s precarious optimism. All eyes now turn to the upcoming clash with Spain.
