Mbappé's absence from the training session at Clairefontaine, on the outskirts of Paris, is a minor setback for France ahead of their Nations League matches. The team is currently preparing for a busy schedule, which includes away games against Türkiye on Friday and Belgium next Monday, followed by home matches against Italy on October 2 and Belgium on October 5.
Mbappé, who remains the team captain under new coach Zinédine Zidane, has been in top form this summer, breaking the record for the most all-time World Cup goals with 22. His absence from the training session is likely to be short-lived, with the team hoping to have him back on the pitch soon.
The French players have gathered at Clairefontaine for a training camp ahead of their upcoming matches, and the team is expected to continue their preparations without Mbappé for the time being.
