When Real Madrid started training on Tuesday after the international break, Kylian Mbappé was also back.

On its website, the Spanish giant club illustrated the news of the first training session with a picture of the star, but without commenting on the uproar surrounding him.

Mbappé missed France's national team gathering due to an injury. That he instead traveled to Sweden was already being debated in French media.

Now, the sports pages are instead topped by Swedish media reports that Real Madrid star is suspected of rape.

"Kylian Mbappé's stay in Stockholm between October 9 and 11 has taken a turn that goes far beyond the sporting controversy", writes, for example, L'Équipe.

Mbappé "shocked"

At the same time, the media emphasizes that the Swedish Prosecution Authority has so far only confirmed that there is a report of a rape, but not confirmed that the report concerns the French star.

Kylian Mbappé has announced through his lawyer that he will take legal action. According to his lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, he is shocked by the reporting.

Of course. He cannot imagine for a single second that a report has been filed that targets him, she says to BFMTV.

No comments

It was on Monday that Aftonbladet reported that Kylian Mbappé with company had been in Stockholm last week and that the police were investigating a suspected rape after the visit.

Later, Expressen reported that it is allegedly Kylian Mbappé himself who is suspected in the case. He is reportedly reasonably suspected, the lower degree of suspicion.

The Prosecution Authority has so far only confirmed that a report of a rape was filed on October 10.

According to the prosecutor, Marina Chirakova, it is not possible to say when more information might be released about the case.

I will not comment on anything or provide information about anyone or anything. That applies for the time being, and I cannot give a prognosis for when we can tell more, she says to TT.
