Gérald Baticle, the manager of France's U21 team, expressed his worries after Ethan Mbappé suffered an injury during a match against Estonia. The 19-year-old Mbappé was taken off on a stretcher after receiving a studs-up tackle to his ankle in the 12th minute of the game. Post-match, Baticle admitted to being "worried" about the situation, stating that he saw the tackle and does not appreciate such tackles.
He also expressed hope that his concerns would be unfounded, as he did not want to see his players in such situations. The medical results are yet to be determined. Ethan Mbappé is not the only Mbappé in the family experiencing injury-related challenges; his brother Kylian is also unable to join the France team due to a knee injury.
The extent of Kylian's absence has not been disclosed yet. Additionally, Ethan Mbappé has received a three-game ban for a UEFA Champions League incident, which might be rendered unnecessary now.
