The French football star Kylian Mbappé is now commenting on the investigation into suspected rape that was initiated in connection with his visit to Stockholm in October. I was surprised, he says in an interview with French Canal Plus.

Kylian Mbappé says that he himself has not heard anything from Swedish authorities and that he has only read what everyone else has read in the media.

I'm not worried, it's just hard to understand. But it hasn't weighed me down since I haven't been worried, says the Real Madrid star in the interview.

The Swedish Prosecution Authority has not confirmed that it is Mbappé who is suspected in the case.

If the court calls on me, I'll come, he says.

It was when France's national team was gathered in October that Mbappé visited Stockholm. The striker was not selected for the gathering due to injury. When the national team gathered again in November, coach Didier Deschamps chose not to select Mbappé.
