VIDEO: Real Madrid ‘Galactico’ Kylian Mbappe goes go-karting with Eden Hazard after missing out on France squad

The World Cup winner was surprisingly overlooked by Les Bleus for their latest round of UEFA Nations League fixtures, having also missed out in October when supposedly carrying a knock. There has been talk of Mbappe suffering a falling-out with national team coach Didier Deschamps.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  With international action off the agenda for now, Mbappe is keeping himself busy with alternative routines. He has posted videos on social media of training sessions taking place in Madrid that he would usually have been absent from.

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Mbappe has also taken to putting his driving skills to the test during a visit to a karting track owned by Formula One superstar and Real Madrid fan, Carlos Sainz. The Frenchman was joined at that event by ex-Blancos forward Eden and several members of the club’s coaching staff.

  WHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE?

  Mbappe made the podium, as he finished third on the day behind Hazard and fitness coach Sebastien Devillaz. With eight goals to his name through 16 appearances this season, the 25-year-old will be back on the football field when Real take in a trip to Leganes on November 24.
