Players are reaching their limits.
With club football paused for the international break, the focus now shifts to national teams. Kylian Mbappé, a key player for France and Real Madrid, has expressed concerns about the heavy schedule of matches.
Details: At a recent press conference, the French striker shared his doubts about whether players can effectively manage playing 60 matches in one season. He emphasized the necessity for more rest.
Quote: “I don’t know if we’re ready to play 60 matches. I can’t remember ever seeing a player perform at his best across 60 games. We need more rest,” he stated.
France is scheduled to play Ukraine away in their first qualifier for the 2026 World Cup. This match is set for Friday, September 5, with kick-off at 20:45.
Reminder: Kylian Mbappé, the captain of the French national team, has already arrived at the team’s base in preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifying matches. He posted photos of his arrival on his Instagram account.
