No bad blood between Real Madrid megastar and national team manager – report

No bad blood between Real Madrid megastar and national team manager – report Zinedine Zidane was visibly excited, having Kylian Mbappe at his disposal for France’s upcoming matches against Italy, before a discomfort in his hamstring ruled him out at the last minute. After suffering the knock, Mbappe was expected to return to Madrid to continue his recovery, with a private jet waiting to fly him back to the Spanish capital. However, Zidane decided Mbappe should remain in the France camp, hoping he could recover in time to play the next match against Turkey. This reportedly caused tension between the player and the coach, with Mbappe being left unhappy at Zidane’s decision. No bad blood between Mbappe and Zidane No bad blood between Zidane and Mbappe.

The report has quashed earlier claims of Mbappe being unhappy with Zidane over his decision to keep him in the French camp and not letting him return to Madrid. The report further confirms Mbappe is still trying to get to know Zidane, who has taken over the reins as coach of the France national team after long-term Didier Deschamps stepped out of his role. Naturally, the transition was going to affect everyone in the team, including Mbappe, who used to enjoy an elevated status in the France squad under Deschamps.

Zidane had earlier indicated that he would be open to allowing Mbappe to play in his preferred left-wing position , which could be favourable for Real Madrid. But the player’s injury has now complicated everything, and Real Madrid will be hoping that the former PSG star doesn’t aggravate his injury by not returning to Madrid. It will also be interesting to see whether or not Mbappe makes it in time to feature against Turkey in the next game.
