Kylian Mbappé having missed the last two meetings of the Blues, several leaders inherited the captaincy in his absence. Enough to relaunch the debate on the official wearer of the armband in 2025.
The absence of Kylian Mbappé during the last two meetings of the Blues forced coach Didier Deschamps to find alternative profiles to occupy the position of captain. And his successive deputies, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Ngolo Kanté and especially Ibrahima Konaté, seem to have taken on this responsibility seriously and diligently. Enough to raise questions around the status of the Real Madrid striker in the French team.
It would be surprising to see the Blues star give up his status
In front of the press, Didier Deschamps tried to clear the land of mines, without clarifying the situation. “Today, I am not going to ask myself a question that is not on the agenda. Everything in its time,” explained the coach before France-Israel. But as L'Équipe mentions, the hypothesis of a discussion between the boss of the Blues and his captain Kylian Mbappé on the subject of this famous armband is a possibility.
However, it would be very surprising to see the Blues star give up his status. Kylian Mbappé has always said he is very attached to the France team, as evidenced by his message of encouragement published on Instagram during the Italy-France match this Sunday.
