Kylian Mbappe, a French forward, will miss France’s World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan on Sunday after suffering an ankle injury, confirmed by the FFF. The injury happened in France 4-0 victory against Ukraine when Mbappe scored two goals and assisted another one to allow the team to secure a spot at the 2026 world cup.
Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, also a Real Madrid player, recently dropped out of the team due to a minor muscle problem, and Deschamps has less to offer in attack.
The career of Mbappe is marked with many records. He made his debut at age 16 to AS Monaco and became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the club and would break the record again becoming the youngest player in the 21 st century to score 400 goals in his career.
He became the highest goalscorer in his debut season with Real Madrid, with 42 goals, and is also a five-time Ligue 1 Player of the Month winner. He has also won several Golden Boots, which proves his position as one of the best strikers and a possible nominee of Ballon d or.
France will now have to depend on other forwards in the absence of Mbappe, and Real Madrid will be preoccupied with the LaLiga game against Elche on November 24, hoping their star will get back soon.
The sidelining of Mbappe is a short-term failure but it emphasizes the worth of a player to the club and the nation as he keeps on making history and dominating the new breed of football stars.
