Is Kylian Mbappe injured? Why France & Real Madrid superstar sat out training & sparked fitness fear ahead of Canada friendly & Euro 2024

The World Cup winner, who recently <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-eye-popping-signing-on-bonus-real-madrid-transfer/bltde800d97639ecd1a" target="_blank">completed his long-awaited move to Real Madrid as a free agent</a>, is expected to play a leading role for his country at this summer’s European Championship. He will, however, need to be clear of any knocks in order to perform at his best.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Mbappe took no part in a workout session alongside the rest of his French team-mates on Saturday, leading to reports that he had picked up a muscle problem. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leader-kylian-mbappe-praised-didier-deschamps-scoring-france-real-madrid-move/bltfddccfdc3e2ad7d4" target="_blank">Didier Deschamps is already having to contend with knocks</a> to Kingsley Coman, Aurelien Tchouameni and Adrien Rabiot.

He is considered to have sat out training ahead of a friendly clash with Canada as a precaution. There is still a chance that he will figure in France’s latest fixture, with a “last-minute decision” set to be made.
