Is Kylian Mbappé Psychologically and Physically Affected?

Kylian Mbappé appears to have been psychologically affected by the tumultuous events of his summer, as reported by Le Parisien.

Despite his seemingly unshakeable demeanor, the best player and top scorer for PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) has experienced lingering effects from his challenging summer. Le Parisien suggests that Mbappé’s two-month hiatus from playing, following his temporary exclusion, has resulted in psychological consequences.

Mbappé seems to be grappling with a form of mental fatigue, particularly due to his challenging summer experiences. The strained contract negotiations and the « loft » episode appear to have had a significant psychological impact on him.

According to Le Parisien, he struggled with the club’s contractual standoff and the period of exclusion, at times perceiving it as a form of emotional distress or harassment.

This is reflected in his recent performances, such as his injury against Marseille and lackluster displays against Clermont and Newcastle. It’s evident that Mbappé is currently going through a phase of uncertainty. There is an opportunity to bounce back against Rennes and, subsequently, with the French national team. However, there will be little time for respite.
