The French national team's technical staff announced that star Kylian Mbappé will travel to Dubai for medical reasons after the match against Ukraine. According to RMC Sport radio, after a flight lasting about 6 hours and 40 minutes, the attacker was seen at the Atlantis Royal hotel and at a padel club with other celebrities, including Daju and the Hernández brothers. It was noted that a day after France's 4-0 victory over Ukraine, which secured their qualification, and after he was excluded from the final match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Azerbaijan (3-1), Kylian Mbappé traveled to Dubai on Saturday. Earlier, head coach Didier Deschamps had pointed out an 'inflammation in his right ankle' for Mbappé, which 'requires further examination'. After the French national team issued a statement following their 4-0 clean-sheet victory over Ukraine at the Parc des Princes on Thursday, Kylian Mbappé immediately left for Dubai. The Instagram account Drikcfootball posted a video of luggage tags clearly bearing the name of the French national team captain, on board Emirates flight EK72, which departed from Paris Charles de Gaulle airport at 10:00 AM on November 15, heading to Dubai, UAE. In turn, musician Daju posted an Instagram story on Monday, in which he was dressed in sportswear with members of the 'Padel One' club. Nasser Golam Hussein wrote: 'Thank you to our friend and hero Kylian Mbappé for visiting us today'.
