Kylian Mbappé Misses Final Training Ahead of Italy Clash, Raising Concerns
Alarm bells are ringing at Real Madrid and in the French national team. Kylian Mbappé did not train with the rest of the squad on Wednesday in the final session before Thursday’s crucial Nations League clash against Italy.
The Real Madrid forward’s absence immediately sparked concern at Valdebebas. Although the French coaching staff have yet to issue a definitive medical update, his place in the starting lineup for tomorrow’s match is in serious doubt pending clarification of the exact reason he is unwell.

This setback adds to a disrupted international camp for Zinedine Zidane‘s side. Just 24 hours earlier, the French Football Federation confirmed the withdrawal of Aurélien Tchouaméni, who left the France camp after his fitness issues were confirmed.
Real Madrid are closely monitoring every update from Clairefontaine. Their fixture schedule offers no respite after the international break, so any discomfort affecting their star player poses a risk that José Mourinho would rather avoid at all costs.
The coming hours will be decisive in determining whether Kylian Mbappé ultimately makes the squad to face the Azzurri or rests as a precaution so he can return to Real Madrid fully fit.
