French football chief backs Mbappe after apology to China

The head of the French football federation says Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe should be allowed to move on after apologising to China. The source gives no further detail.

The head of the French football federation has publicly backed Kylian Mbappe, the forward for Real Madrid, the Spanish football club, after the player apologised to China. The federation chief said Mbappe should be allowed to move on.

The text of the source article contains no further details. It does not say what the apology related to, when or in what circumstances it was made, or how China responded. The federation chief is not named either, so the background and next steps cannot be set out here.

What is clear is that a senior figure in French football considers the matter closed and supports the player.
