MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Kylian Mbappé “is not affected” by the Swedish media reports this week that said the France captain was the subject of a rape investigation. Mbappé’s legal team dismissed those reports as false.
“I do not pay attention to speculations that come from outside the team. The player is not affected in the least,” Ancelotti said Friday.
The reports in Swedish media came out after the striker visited Stockholm during the international break when he was not called up by France due to a minor injury.
Without citing sources, Swedish media reported Mbappé was the subject of an investigation of an alleged rape at a hotel in Stockholm. Mbappé’s representatives have called the reports “false and irresponsible.” Swedish prosecutors issued a brief statement on Tuesday saying a rape had been reported to police, but didn’t name any suspect.
