LONDON, Dec. 7 (PA Media/dpa/EP) –
The midfielder of the French team Adrien Rabiot stressed this Wednesday that his chances of winning the World Cup in Qatar do not depend on what his star striker, Kylian Mbappé, does, although he does not hide that he is the “main weapon” of the current world champion .
“There is no dependence on Kylian. He is our main weapon, but we also have other players who can make a difference in other ways. We have him as with all the players in this group, they all have to be healthy to face England “,” Rabiot said at a press conference.
The Juventus player is clear that the Paris Saint-Germain striker “is impressive” and that “from year to year he evolves and gets even better.” I don’t know where it will stop. We are lucky to have him on our team and not against us,” he admitted.
For his part, the center-back Ibrahima Konate took the edge off Mbappé’s absence from training on Tuesday. “He was resting. It was a small recovery session because the day before we had a rest day. I think he decided to stay at home with a coach, there’s nothing to worry about,” he clarified.
The defender referred to the possible duel that the striker will have against a defender of the stature of Kyle Walker. “They are two great players. Walker is one of the best right-backs in the world, I’m looking forward to seeing this battle,” he warned.
