The French natiоnal team’s Eurо 2024 training facility had a viral оutbreak оn Thursday, which meant that Kylian Mbappe and Kingsley Cоman cоuldn’t attend training.On Monday night, Les Bleus will face Austria at Dusseldorf’s Merkur Spiel-Arena in the opening match of the European Championship, which kicks off on Friday night in Germany.

France, together with Germany, the host country, and England, are heavy favorites to win the continental title this year. Mbappe will be captaining France for the first time in a major tournament.

The confirmation of a viral epidemic at Les Bleus’ training camp in Paderborn, however, appears to have dealt a major setback to their preparations.Mbаppe аnԀ Cоmаn wιll nоt be pаrtιcιpаtιng ιn Les Bleus’s trаιnιng sessιоn Ԁue tо а vιrus epιԀemιc.

This meant that not only did manager Didier Deschamps miss Thursday’s squad training, but so did Mbappe and his attacking partner Coman.

After a brief appearance on the training pitch to welcome fans, claims surfaced indicating that Mbappe had ‘worked in the gym’ independently despite feeling ill.

Despite what is supposedly not a serious sickness, Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman was confined to his room and spent the day there.

Furthermore, Aurelien Tchouameni and Ibrahima Konate initially joined the team’s group training session but subsequently separated to work out individually with the coaches.

“Things are considerably better for me,” the PSG star said. I was sick with the flu on Tuesday. I was the only one who got a minor temperature.

In a few days, everything will be fine. Aside from Coman, who is little under the weather, the entire squad is doing well. The chef will be escorted to his room with a miniature cake that we will bake for him.

Mbappe is expected to have a major impact on France’s campaign after being instrumental in their 2018 World Cup victory and 2022 Qatar final appearance. France will face the Netherlands and Poland in Group D after their opening encounter against Austria.

Les Bleus last won the Henri Delaunay Cup in 2000, under Deschamps’s captaincy.
