**Paris, France** – Following France’s 3-1 loss to Italy in the UEFA Nations League, controversy has erupted regarding Kylian Mbappé’s off-field activities. Reports emerged that the Real Madrid forward spent time in a Stockholm nightclub on the night France defeated Israel in a previous Nations League match.
This latest development has fueled existing criticism of Mbappé, who was already under fire for skipping national team matches against Israel and Belgium, while remaining available for Real Madrid.
“People can do what they want with their free time,” commented Chelsea defender Wesley Fofana, defending his teammate. “He’s the best French player, so it’s normal that it is very publicised. I think that from time to time [the media] go a little too far.”
Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi echoed Fofana’s sentiments, stating, “We have no doubts about Kylian. … There is no question about his passion [for his country]. He loves his country; he will continue to help us. We must stop talking about it too much.”
Mbappé’s absence from the France squad during the initial Nations League matches was attributed to a muscle injury, but his return to Real Madrid prior to his national team availability sparked questions regarding his commitment to Les Bleus.
France currently sits second in Nations League group A2, and will face Belgium in Brussels on Monday. The controversy surrounding Mbappé’s off-field activities will likely continue to simmer as the team prepares for its upcoming match.
