While the French team hasn’t issued an official statement, reports claim there has been a virus outbreak within the team. Ousmane Dembélé was the first to get infected with the flu. However, it seems like the player is on the route to recovery. The PSG star talked about his conditions with the reporters, claiming he will get fit in no time.

Mbappe in an interview with CNN stated, “I want to win the Euros. I have to be honest, I won the World Cup, and I won the Nations League. That’s the only one that missed me with the national team after I did everything with the national team. I really want to win this. My first competition as captain, so it’s really important for me and it’s always important for the country and we want them to be proud of us. (It’s) another opportunity to write the history for my country.”

While Kylian seems more than keen on lifting the Euros, he will face stiff competition from his Real Madrid teammates.
