Kylian Mbappe and William Saliba, two talented football players, are not just teammates, but also international teammates for France. Recently, Mbappe was named France's Footballer of the Season, but he humbly admitted that Saliba may have been a more deserving winner. Mbappe, who is also the captain of the French national team, had an outstanding final season with his club Paris Saint-Germain, scoring an impressive 52 goals in all competitions. His remarkable performances helped PSG win both the French league and cup titles, and also reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. As a result, he received 56 points in the vote conducted by France Football, five more than his teammate Saliba, who came in second place.
Saliba, the defensive rock for Arsenal, has also had a fantastic year, solidifying his reputation as a key player in the French national team's defense. Mbappe acknowledged Saliba's contribution and stated, "You have to be fair, William Saliba would also have deserved to win this trophy," in an interview with France Football. However, it remains to be seen if Mbappe can retain the prestigious award next year, as he will need to improve his performance for his new club, Real Madrid.
Unfortunately, Mbappe will miss Real Madrid's upcoming LaLiga game against Rayo Vallecano due to an injury. But, there is some good news for the team as defensive midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will be returning to the squad after recovering from a hamstring injury. On Friday, manager Carlo Ancelotti announced that Mbappe was replaced during the first half of their Champions League match against Atalanta on Tuesday, after being diagnosed with an injury to his left thigh. He added that Camavinga, who is only 22 years old, also suffered an injury during their game against Liverpool in November. However, he has fully recovered and is available for the upcoming game against Rayo.
Ancelotti also gave an update on Mbappe's condition, saying, "Kylian is not seriously injured, he won't be here tomorrow, but he will travel to Qatar, and there, we will assess the risk." Despite Mbappe's injury, he is still the leading goalscorer for Real Madrid in LaLiga, with nine goals from 15 matches. Ancelotti also commented on Mbappe's recent breaks, stating that he has been resting and working hard, and that he will only be out of action for a short period. He also reassured fans that Mbappe will not lose his form and will continue to achieve great things for the team.
