I find it quite hard to believe the British press haven't made more of the story regarding Mbappe missing training on Tuesday? Kylian Mbappe was absent from France’s latest training session, days before the World Cup quarter-final clash with England. The Paris Saint-Germain superstar has been in stunning form during the early stages of the tournament and his brace against Poland in the last-16 brought his tally to five goals in four games. Stopping Mbappe will be priority number one for the Three Lions as they look to make the semi finals for the third straight major tournament. But fears over his fitness were sparked on Tuesday when the 23-year-old didn’t appear on the pitch for the start of France’s open training session. Didier Deschamps’ side were undergoing a light session in front of the assembled press, before more intense preparations begin for this Saturday’s meeting. Reports from RMC Sport claim that Mbappe did not join the rest of Les Bleus squad on the recommendation of their team doctor. It is stated Deschamps had a long discussion with the medical expert prior to the session getting underway, with Mbappe instead working alone in the recovery room. please log in to view this image
