Mbappé Declares Himself Ready as France Weighs Late Call for Azerbaijan Qualifier

Final selection hinges on a last fitness check at the Parc des Princes.

Overview

  • After a minor right-ankle issue with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé told reporters he feels fit to play and described the problem as nothing serious.
  • Didier Deschamps said the issue is not prohibitive and indicated Mbappé would train on the eve of the match before a decision is made.
  • At Wednesday’s session in Clairefontaine, Mbappé warmed up and did low‑intensity runs before stopping early and watching from the bench.
  • Spanish outlets including Marca cast doubt on his involvement and noted Real Madrid are closely monitoring his condition.
  • Ibrahima Konaté, managed for a quadriceps concern, also trained separately and is considered unlikely to feature against Azerbaijan.
