Mbappe is leading the race for the Golden Boot and is ready to face England in the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup 2022 on December 11, 2022, at 12:30 a.m. IST.
Mbappe missed a recent training session, giving England fans hope that their team will have a larger winning window to reach the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 semi-finals. Shattered now, fans are wishing for Saka to lead the charge for advancement in the tournament.
He is also on the list for the Golden Boot, with three goals so far in the tournament.
Konate has clarified that Mbappe is perfectly fine. His absence was due to a recovery session that took place away from the practise field. Calling it a normal routine, the France teammate has assured that Mbappe will be on the field against England on December 11, 2022, at 12:30 a.m. IST.
Al Bayt Stadium will host the fixture. Fans will experience one of the most heated matches where Mbappe and Saka play to take their team to the next knockout round. England has a plan in place to keep Mbappe in check. Kyle Walker has been given the responsibility of marking Mbappe throughout the event. There could be a few changes, though, as the plan is now out in the open.
Their 4-3-3 formation is more or less expected to remain the same. That is what handed them a 3-0 victory over Cisse’s team. Pickford saved a couple of shots on target to upset Senegal. Three players—Henderson, Kane, and Saka—had their names appear on the scoreboard. When the round of 16 was finally over, Senegal was sent home with no goals, while England emerged victorious.
France has an upset over its name coming from Tunisia. Khazri handed the surprising 1-0 loss in the 58th minute. In the final 16 minutes, Mbappe scored two strikes as the former champions defeated Poland. The first goal was scored in the 44th minute by Giroud, who is also competing for the Golden Boot.
With a double in the 74th and 90+1th minutes, Mbappe ultimately emerged as the star of the show. A single goal would have kept him on top as well. A double practically guarantees his success. It goes without saying that the discussion is predicated on France moving on to the next round.
England will step onto the field with a winning window of 31% against a winning window of 40% for France. One can expect the game to go into the penalty round with a scoreless record throughout full-time.
Mbappe is naturally inclined toward retaining the top spot. Saka may attempt to steal this moment from him. After settling the conflict with Deschamps, Adrien Rabiot has returned to the national team. Walker has a very significant responsibility.
The pre-game session is exuberant. Al Bayt Stadium, Qatar, should maintain a larger store on hand to handle spectators displaying their support for their different teams.
