Kylian Mbappé will once again captain France against Sweden in the Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after confirming his condition.
Kylian Mbappé is confirmed to play for France in the important match against Sweden in the Round of 32 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 that will be held at the New York New Jersey Stadium this Tuesday. The Les Bleus captain once again showed his leadership and dignity despite an incomplete season for Real Madrid due to a hamstring injury, in which he played just 16 times.
Despite this, Mbappé has remained healthy this World Cup and has been key for France after playing in all three of France's matches in the group stage. Mbappé currently has four goals, making him second only to Argentina's Lionel Messi (with six) on the list of top scorers this tournament.
