Kylian Mbappé will be in the spotlight again on Saturday when Real Madrid take on Celta Vigo in La Liga.
The captain of the Blues is implicitly cited in a rape case that occurred in Sweden. Despite this, the Frenchman returned to training this Friday with the Merengue and still benefits from the confidence of his coach, Carlo Ancelotti. The latter returned to a press conference on his player’s state of mind: I talk to the players on a daily basis and, as I mentioned before, this is all speculation. I see the player every day, and he works very well. He’s happy and content, and I don’t notice him being affected by this situation, not at all.
The 25-year-old is facing the first potential crisis of his glittering career. An investigation is still underway in Stockholm, but Kylian Mbappé’s lawyers strongly denounce the allegations made against him. This situation could have significant consequences, both on a sporting and personal level.
Their days off were planned, and everyone is free to choose what they want to do in their free time. I don’t care where players decide to rest. For my part, I spent two days in London without asking anyone’s permission. In addition, I do not have a travel agency to organize the players’ travel, underlined Carlo Ancelotti.
Injured in the left thigh at the end of September, Kylian Mbappé only missed one match with Madrid. Returning during the match against Lille in the Champions League, his team lost 1-0 on the LOSC pitch on October 2.
