Kylian Mbappé is once again the target of criticism following a trip to Dubai, which occurred immediately after he was declared unavailable for the French national team’s final qualifying match.
Injury or diplomatic unavailability? A one-way ticket to Dubai: Mbappé sparks a new controversy after Les Bleus qualify… The story begins after France’s 4-0 victory against Ukraine on Thursday, a match which secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup and in which Mbappé shone with a brace.
The Withdrawal Arrives, as if by Magic: The FFF (French Football Federation) quickly announced that the striker would miss Sunday’s trip against Azerbaijan due to an “inflammation of the right ankle” requiring examinations in Madrid. Deschamps wanted to avoid any risk.
However, this version was questioned by the Spanish press, which claimed that Real Madrid had not planned any examinations and that the player would be fit to play in the La Liga match as early as November 23. This contradiction revives the hypothesis of a simple “diplomatic injury” aimed at releasing him.
Escapade in a Luxury Hotel
Just hours after leaving the team camp, Mbappé flew to Dubai on Saturday morning.
A video of luggage tags on Instagram confirmed his departure via an Emirates flight EK72. A notable detail was highlighted: the flight time from Paris to Dubai (approximately 6h40) was longer than the flight time from Paris to Baku (5h10), the location of the match Les Bleus played without him.
The striker did not hide his presence, being spotted in a luxury hotel. More importantly, he was seen at a padel club, posing with celebrities, including singer Dadju. The club owner even thanked “our friend and champion Kylian Mbappé for visiting us today.” Although he posed without a racket, this physical activity raises questions about the actual severity of his ankle injury.

This controversial outing echoes a previous one dating from October 2024. At that time, Mbappé had traveled to Stockholm while the French team was away for the Nations League, despite having been left at his club’s disposal. There is no doubt that this new highly publicized escapade will generate media uproar.
