PSG found out about Mbappé's coronavirus positive from the press

This Monday mid-afternoon the news broke: Kylian Mbappé had tested positive for coronavirus. The player underwent a PCR test in the concentration of the selection during this international break and they detected that he suffers from the virus. The one from Bondy left the concentration immediately to avoid more infections, although hours before he had trained with the rest of the internationals with a certain safety distance but without masks, as happens in all professional football.

The news was published on the website of the French Football Federation at 8:25 p.m. and began to bounce around the world media until it ended up on the mobile of Leonardo, Paris Saint-Germain sports director, who learned of this fact through the press and not by mouth of the Federation itself. To confirm that the forward's positive, Leonardo had to call Kylian himself, who assured him that what was published was true.

The Brazilian, with a notable anger, went live on RMC to publicly express his discomfort with the FFF. “I find it unacceptable that we have to find out about a situation like this from the press. No one from the Federation has communicated anything to us. It seems incredible to me because everyone always gives Paris Saint-Germain moral lessons …”, he assured the Parisian sports director on the air.

Mbappé will miss the league debut

Now, Mbappé will have to pass the incubation period of the virus (two weeks) and undergo new tests to be able to play and train again. The Frenchman will surely miss this Tuesday's match against Croatia and the two PSG games this week against Lens (Thursday) and Sunday's Classic against Olympique de Marseille.
