Sports - World Cup Qualifying: Mbappé Out, 22 Players Available for France

France Completes World Cup Qualifying Campaign Without Mbappé, 22 Players Available for Duty.

In a decisive step towards the ultimate goal of securing their spot at the upcoming World Cup, France wrapped up their qualifying campaign this Sunday in Azerbaijan. With Ukraine already behind them after a crushing 4-0 win on Thursday, Les Bleus can now focus on ensuring that every player is at full strength and ready for the test ahead.

However, for France, the absence of Kylian Mbappé and Eduardo Camavinga will be a significant concern, as Manu Koné has been handed a suspension. Unfortunately, the midfielder has been ruled out of the upcoming match without an alternative being selected to replace him in the squad.

The European football landscape is abuzz with other countries making their push for World Cup tickets. Germany and the Netherlands are just a step away from achieving this goal, while Croatia secured theirs on Friday. Spain's fate now hangs in the balance as they face off against Georgia on Saturday, where a victory will guarantee them a spot in the Americas.

The world of tennis is also abuzz with exciting developments. In the recent ATP Finals action, Jannik Sinner and Félix Auger-Aliassime showcased their skills, leading to anticipation about what's in store for these talented players.

Meanwhile, sports fans tuning into EuroLeague basketball were treated to thrilling victories by AC Milan and Barcelona. The competition is heating up, with more matches on the horizon that promise to keep the excitement levels high.
 
I think it's a big deal that France finished qualifying without Mbappé 🤔... but at the same time, I'm not really sure if it matters that much 💁‍♀️. Like, are they gonna lose without him or something? 🤷‍♂️ I mean, Manu Koné gets suspended and suddenly it's a huge issue? 😐 Come on, France has some other talented players too... but maybe they're just not as 'Mbappé' 😅.

And what's with the World Cup drama? Can't Spain just win one game to guarantee their spot? 🤦‍♂️ It's like, Germany and Netherlands are almost there already, so I don't get why France is stressing about it so much 😅. And tennis... Jannik Sinner vs Félix Auger-Aliassime? Who cares about that when World Cup fever has got everyone buzzing 🤩.

Sports fans going wild for EuroLeague basketball? Like, AC Milan and Barcelona are awesome and all, but not really my thing 🙄 I mean, give me football any day! 🏈
 
I'm still trying to get over the fact that we're losing Kylian Mbappé for the World Cup 🤯 I remember when he first burst onto the scene, playing alongside Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial... now they're all grown up! Manu Koné's suspension is a bit of a bummer, but I guess that just means more time for Adil Rami to shine in midfield 😎. And can you believe Germany and the Netherlands are almost there? It feels like they were playing at the same level as us back in 2014 🤦‍♂️. Anyway, can't wait to see what France does without Mbappé... it's gonna be an interesting ride! 😄
 
OMG 😱 I'm literally shocked they finished qualifying without Mbappé 🤯 he's like the face of French football!!! 🇫🇷 what if he gets injured in the World Cup?!? and Koné getting suspended is no joke, gotta get that spot covered ASAP 🤔 Germany and Netherlands are on fire right now, I'm loving their chances of making it to the World Cup 🎉 but Spain's got this one last game to win, wish them luck 🤞 tennis fans are so hyped about Sinner and Auger-Aliassime, can't wait for those matches 🏸️ AC Milan and Barcelona in the EuroLeague? that's some serious competition 💪
 
man i think france is gonna struggle without mbappé 😬 they need him back ASAP lol can't believe manu koné got suspended tho 🤦‍♂️ germany and netherlands are giving them a run for their money btw did u watch that euroleague match between ac milan and barcelona? ⚽🔥
 
🤔 gotta say, france's squad looks a bit bare without mbappé and camavinga... manu koné's suspension sucks 🚫 hope they can find another midfielder to fill in for them. germany and netherlands are doing really well tho! 🙌 also super stoked about the tennis and basketball updates 💪 ac milan and barca are killing it in euroleague 🏀💥
 
man... thinkin bout france and world cup qualifying... what does it say about a team's strength without its star player? like, mbappé's speed & skill are huge assets, but can manu koné fill the gap or is there just a void left by his absence? 🤔 also feel like france's squad depth is bein tested here - they got 22 players ready to go, which is dope, but still gotta worry about injuries & suspensions. it makes you wonder what the team would've looked like with mbappé on the pitch 🏆
 
I'm a bit worried about France's team without Mbappé... I know they're all adults and can make their own decisions, but as a parent watching football, it's hard not to feel like something's missing 😒 especially with Manu Koné suspended too? 🤕 Hasn't France thought of some sort of backup plan for midfield? I hope Griezmann or Pogba can step up and fill the gap... fingers crossed for them! 💪
 
idk how france can even think of competing at world cup w/o mbappe its like tryin 2 win a fight wit ur hands tied lol whats wrong wit dem ?? they gotta sort out koné suspensions ASAP or else its gonna b a disaster 🤦‍♂️😡
 
Ugh, can't believe France had to go and qualify without Mbappé... I mean, what's the point of even having a team if he's not on it? Guess they really want to make sure Manu Koné knows who's boss 😒. On a more serious note, though, Germany and the Netherlands are pulling ahead, and Spain is literally hanging by a thread now 🤦‍♂️. I wonder what kind of magic they need to conjure up to secure those World Cup spots... maybe it involves some culinary expertise? French cuisine always seems to work its magic on the soccer field ⚽️.
 
OH MY GOSH I AM SOOO EXCITED FOR THE FRENCH NATIONAL TEAM!!! 🤩 THEY'RE GOING TO CRUSH IT AT THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT MBAPPÉ (BUT SERIOUSLY WHO IS REPLACING MANU KONÉ??? 😕) AND IT'S AMAZING TO SEE ALL THESE OTHER TEAMS MAKING THEIR CASE FOR A SPOT IN THE TOURNAMENT TOO!!! 🌟 I MEAN, GERMAN AND DUTCH ARE LOOKING STRONG AND CROATIA JUST SECURED THEIR TICKET SO THEY'RE MUST BE FEELING PRETTY CONFIDENT RIGHT NOW 😎 AND WHAT ABOUT TENNIS?!? JANNIK SINNER AND Félix AUGER-ALIASSIME ARE GOING TO LIGHT UP THE COURT WITH THEIR SKILLS!!! 🏸🔥 AND IT'S AWESOME TO SEE SPORTS FANS GETTING HYPED FOR THE EUROLEAGUE BASKETBALL MATCHES TOO!!! 🎉

I'm so bummed that Mbappé won't be there for France's World Cup qualifiers 🤕. They really need him on their team right now. Manu Koné's suspension stinks too... I hope they can find a way to replace him in the squad ASAP. On the other hand, it's awesome that Germany and Netherlands are so close to making it into the World Cup! 🏆 Spain's match against Georgia is super important, they gotta win it for their spot 🤞.
 
I'm kinda worried about France's squad now that Manu Koné got suspended lol 😂. They need a solid midfielder to balance out the team. I was hoping they'd pick someone from the youth teams or loan players, but it seems like they're going with the bare minimum. And no Mbappé? That's huge. He's been on fire this season and his absence is definitely gonna be felt. 🤔 I'm still rooting for France to make it to the World Cup, though! Can they pull off a win without their star player? ⚽
 
Ugh, I'm feeling kinda down about France's qualifying campaign 🤕. Losing Mbappé is a huge blow, but at least they've finished strong 😊. It's all about the team effort now, and I gotta give 'em props for staying positive despite these setbacks 💪. Now they just need to focus on the next match without Manu Koné 👋... still got faith in 'em! 🙏
 
France think they got this thing in the bag without Mbappé? Please! That kid's pace and skill are unmatched, what makes them think 22 players can just fill his shoes? And Manu Koné getting suspended too? Unbelievable... 🤯💥
 
Ugh, can't believe France isn't full strength already 🙄... I mean, I get it, injuries are part of the game, but it's like they're not even trying to prepare for the World Cup. Mbappé is a superstar, and Camavinga's suspension is a major blow... Manu Koné just got suspended out of nowhere? 🤔 Anyway, Germany and Netherlands are killing it right now, maybe France should learn from them and step up their game? 😏 And can we talk about the ATP Finals? Sinner and Auger-Aliassime are going to have some epic matches... gotta see who's gonna take it all! 🔥
 
man I'm kinda worried about France's chances without Mbappé 🤔... he's been a game-changer for them in big tournaments like this... but they've got a solid squad and their qualifying campaign has been impressive so far 😊. Still, gotta be super careful not to overexert the players with Manu Koné suspended, that's like taking a risk by playing with one less strong midfielder 🤦‍♂️. fingers crossed they can get him back soon and make it to the World Cup in style! 💪
