Real Madrid's French star Kylian Mbappé will join the national team's training camp in March, despite a knee injury, as preparation for the friendly matches against Brazil on March 26 and Colombia on March 29 in the USA. The Real Madrid forward suffered a knee sprain recently, which affected his ability to play at his full level. However, media reports confirmed that he will be forced to travel with the delegation despite his physical condition. Spanish newspaper 'AS' stated that the trip of the France captain to the USA does not necessarily mean he will participate in the matches, as he may limit himself to being with the team while continuing his recovery from the injury. The newspaper clarified that the decision for Mbappé to travel is not only related to technical aspects but also comes from marketing commitments with 'Nike' and several sponsors, as part of activities aimed at enhancing the commercial presence of the French team in the American market. It also pointed out that not sending Mbappé would have led to significant financial losses due to penalty clauses in marketing contracts, which prompted the French Football Federation and partners to insist on the star's presence on the trip, even if he is still in the recovery phase from the injury.
