The French national team will play their opening match in Group D against Austria at 2:00 AM on June 18th (Vietnam time). Along with England, France are among the favorites to qualify for the Round of 16, with Mbappe making his debut as captain of the national team in a major tournament.
Mbappe skipped training just before France's opening match at EURO 2024.
However, "Les Bleus'" preparations were affected after it was confirmed that a virus had attacked their headquarters in Paderborn (Germany). As a result, Mbappe and teammate Kingsley Coman missed the team's training session on June 13th, while coach Didier Deschamps was also reportedly ill.
Later, some reports suggested that Mbappe – who had just completed his dream transfer from PSG to Real Madrid – was training separately in his room despite his poor health and had been present at the training ground to meet fans. However, Bayern Munich winger Coman, on his 28th birthday, spent the entire day in isolation in his room. Many now hope the virus will not seriously affect the French national team.
Kingsley Coman is believed to have become more seriously ill.
In a press conference on June 13, French winger Ousmane Dembele shared an update on his condition and revealed that he had also struggled with illness during preparations for EURO 2024. The PSG star said: "As for me, things are much better. I had the flu last Tuesday. I had a slight fever, I was the first one. Everyone will be fine in the next few days. The whole team played better except for Coman, who was a little worse off. We'll make him a birthday cake and have the chef bring it to his room!"
After Austria, France will face the Netherlands and Poland in Group D, and Mbappe will play a crucial role in their journey after being a key part of the team that won the 2018 World Cup and reached the 2022 World Cup final.
