Kylian Mbappé has missed France training with a flu-like illness, just as Zinedine Zidane takes charge of his first camp as national team boss.

Of course this happens in Zidane's first week. France can't just have a normal start, can they? It's probably nothing serious, but with Mbappé being the captain and the main man, every small thing becomes a story.

Is this just a minor illness, or should France be worried about their captain's fitness? 🔥

@LilDriz23668444 Extremely brutal" – bro, they already have Yamal and Raphinha. How much more brutal do you want? Flick is doing great, but let's not pretend Barça are some underdogs with no resources😏

[SportInsighte @SportInsighte]

@Corballyred Yeah, Mbappé really needed to learn from Firmino how to make runs. The man has scored 300+ career goals. I'm sure he was desperate for those lessons 🤣🤣🤣

@MatchDCentral Estêvão keeping his head down and working while everyone else panics. That's maturity beyond his years. Give him time and he'll cook at Chelsea.👌

@Sport14X Mané could've spent his money on anything. Instead, he built his hometown from the ground up. Hospital, school, stadium, jobs. That's a king. Respect, Sadio 👑❤️

@centredevils Mainoo winning possession 40 times this season, more than any other player in the league. And Carrick benched him against Brighton. Make it make sense. The kid is United's best midfielder and he's being wasted

[SportInsighte @SportInsighte]

@LilDriz23668444 Raphinha is world-class, no doubt. But Harry Kane is on another level. 73 goals in a season, 100 Bundesliga goals in three years, England's all-time top scorer. Raphinha is top, but he's not Kane. The Ballon d'Or should go to Kane this year 🔥

@BarcaUniversal @FCBDenniss Yamal saying he wants three Champions Leagues in a row is peak 19-year-old energy. Win one first, then we'll talk about the three-peat.😏

@StakeFootball @okdobleamarilla Scaloni's only decision now is whether he wants to deal with the Argentina media for another four years. That's the real test of his mental strength😂

@NBA @HoustonRockets Steven Adams entering Year 14 in the NBA looking like he's about to body a whole team by himself. The man is a machine. Rockets are lucky to have him 💪

@CFCPys @SJohnsonSport Chelsea made £175M from selling Enzo and Santos, and now they're panicking because the midfield is wide open. Maybe don't sell your two best midfielders in the same window? Just a thought

Yan Diomande, Real Madrid's most expensive signing ever, has hit back at critics with a TikTok post. The song lyrics included a line about people "talking loudly on the internet but not even bathing" and another about critics always coming for them even when they do well.

For context, he cost €140M, hasn't scored yet, and is already under the microscope. But he did grab an assist against Elche and looked lively off the bench in the derby.

So is this a young player feeling the pressure, or is it too early for him to be clapping back at critics? 🔥

Sky Sports are asking fans to send in their England squad questions ahead of the Nations League fixtures. The best ones will get answered in a Q&A video.

Honestly, this is a smart move from Sky. Fans always have opinions on who should start, who should be dropped, and why Tuchel keeps picking the same players. Now they actually get to ask.

What's the one question you'd ask about the England squad right now?

[Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews]

Ask our reporters Rob Dorsett and Kaveh Solhekol your England squad questions ahead of their Nations League fixtures 🦁

The best questions will be featured in a q&a video 📺

F1 has confirmed Monaco will host a sprint race in 2027. Yes, Monaco. The track where overtaking is basically impossible. Fans are already asking why we need two boring races instead of one.

But F1's logic is different: Monaco qualifying is the best of the season, and two quali sessions means more drama, more mistakes, more jeopardy. They're not selling the race, they're selling the chaos.

Does a Monaco sprint actually make sense, or is F1 ruining its most iconic weekend? 🔥

Peter Windsor is calling on the FIA to change chassis rules if F3 champion Ugo Ugochukwu is too tall to fit in an F1 car. Ugochukwu is 19, won the F3 title in Madrid, and is reportedly around 6ft4 — taller than any current F1 driver.

So the kid is fast enough to win F3, but might not get a seat because he's too tall? That's madness. F1 should be adapting to talent, not excluding it. McLaren already dropped him from their junior programme, which makes this even worse.

Should F1 change the rules to fit taller drivers, or is this just how the sport works? 🔥

Lamine Yamal has shown public support for Atlético Madrid defender Marc Pubill after the Madrid derby, leaving a series of fire emojis under his Instagram post celebrating the win over Real Madrid.

A Barça player hyping up an Atlético player after they beat Real Madrid is exactly the kind of petty I love to see. The El Clásico rivalry runs deep, and Yamal knows exactly what he's doing.

Is this just respect between Spanish teammates, or is Yamal throwing shade at Real Madrid? 🔥

Cade Cunningham has earned All-NBA First Team honors and led the Detroit Pistons to their third-ever 60-win season. He's now being called "a guy who's putting the city on his back".

That's exactly what Detroit needed. The Pistons have been irrelevant for years and now they have a proper franchise player who actually wants to carry them. If he keeps this up, they're not just a regular season team anymore.

Can Cade actually take the Pistons deep in the playoffs, or is this just another regular season run? 🔥

“A guy who’s putting the city on his back...”

After earning All-NBA First Team honors and leading the @DetroitPistons to their third-ever 60-win season, Cade Cunningham keeps taking his game to new heights 👏

Cade opens Year 6 vs. Boston, Oct. 20 on NBC and Peacock!

🏎️F1 has announced that from 2027, the maximum race distance will be reduced by 15km, from 305km to 290km. The reason? The fuel tank is inside the chassis, and with more electrical power coming in 2026, some teams might not even be able to finish a race🛣️

So instead of making the cars more efficient, they're just making the races shorter. Classic F1 logic. Imagine telling drivers they can't go the full distance because the fuel tank doesn't fit.

Is this a smart move to protect smaller teams, or is F1 just lowering the standard?
