Mbappe has been getting treatment of what medical staff termed as a minor niggle in his right ankle by the second week in the Real Madrid game last week. But, in an interview with the reporters before France played Azerbaijan, the star forward sounded very optimistic about his fitness. According to him, coach Didier Deschamps of the national team is eager to have him take part in the remaining games and he does not expect any major problems of injury.
Coach Deschamps supported such a verdict in his own media appearance, where the coach admitted that although there are no significant impediments to the ankle situation, whether or not the player would go full with Mbappe will be based on the self-sensibility of the player, as per as concerns his injury sensitivity.
Other than physical factors, Mbappe stressed on mental status and general contentment with his move to Spanish football. The forward has strived to integrate into the lifestyle and culture of Madrid since the disclosure of his high-profile transfer between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid last season. He took time and looked back at his career path and he realized that the career of a professional athlete has its rough moments when things get very troublesome.
Nevertheless, Mbappe emphasized that personal adjustment to Madrid has been a step in the right direction, which has provided a environment in which he feels much more comfortable than he was before.
The 25-year-old stated that the lifestyle in Madrid is significantly different when compared to that in Paris, and it was less hectic and intense. This shift in speed has enabled him to concentrate better in his performance and health. Although he clarified that he makes no comment as criticism of France or Paris, Mbappe pointed to the fact that the Spanish capital has given him a feeling of comfort that has affected both his contributions on the field, as well as his general demeanor. He has recognized his accomplishment in scoring in Madrid although he still said that he thinks that his overall performance and consistency in the game could be better.
France which is ranked top in their qualifying group after two wins in two matches is now on a tight schedule as they host Azerbaijan on Friday at the Paris Saint-Germain stadium, the venue where Paris Saint-Germain plays. The match is a very important chance to take a goal in the direction of being eligible to the upcoming world cup tournament.
Deschamps, though, advised his team against complacency, which is that Azerbaijan cannot be underrated even though they are ranked among the less prominent countries in European football. The coach of the French team emphasized that the team of Azerbaijan had recently drawn against Ukraine and this fact showed that they can compete.
Deschamps went on to point out that 7 of the players who make up the Azerbaijan squad are players of Qarabag, a club that has already displayed a lot of strength by beating its first two matches in its first group stage of the champions league.
This backdrop implies that the meeting on Friday though seemingly looking to be ideal on paper to the French side is a valid challenge before a team aiming at preserving an unbeaten qualification streak. After their home game against Azerbaijan, Les Bleux will visit Iceland three days later to play another group game, and the procession towards the World Cup qualification.
The confidence that Mbappe exudes before these key matches gives France considerable boost to them as they progress through their qualifying program. The fact that he has regained fitness and is in a better state of mind indicates that the forward is in a position to contribute significantly in the qualification goals of his country in this crucial stage of preparation of their tournament.
