The man everyone is talking about is back. And his absence will therefore not have lasted very long. Exempted from training for the Blues on Tuesday evening – he was recuperating indoors while his teammates were training outdoors in Doha – the competition’s top scorer (5 goals) will, according to our information, be back at home. training this Wednesday, from 5 p.m. (French time) at the base camp of the Blues.
A good omen three days before the quarter-final of the Blues against England. Mbappé, decisive against Poland with two goals and an assist, is the number one danger of the Blues, who rely all the more on his influence and his efficiency in attack since the withdrawal of the Ballon d’Or Karim Benzema.
No doubt a welcome rest when the Frenchman had already been spared during the match against Tunisia, of which he only played 27 minutes and before which he had trained with a strapped ankle. A rest, above all, allowed by the fairly long time between the eighth and the quarter-finals (six days, a first for the Blues in the competition). Monday, all of the Blues were also able to enjoy a day of rest.
On the French side, Kylian Mbappé was the only absent Tuesday from a group that should be complete this Wednesday. On the English side, Declan Rice and Callum Wilson, the first sick and the second recovering from a minor muscle injury, missed the Three Lions’ training this Wednesday at the start of the afternoon.
