French football star Kylian Mbappé was spotted training with Real Madrid on Tuesday, marking his return to the field after a brief injury recovery period.
This training session takes place against the backdrop of reports from Swedish media suggesting that Mbappé is under investigation for an alleged rape incident in Stockholm, where he was last week.
Swedish authorities have confirmed the initiation of an investigation regarding the alleged incident at a hotel in the city, although they have not disclosed the suspect's identity.
Mbappé has publicly dismissed the allegations as "fake news," and his representatives have labeled the claims as "totally false and irresponsible." In a social media post, he appeared to link the Swedish reports to a legal hearing in Paris regarding a dispute with his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, over unpaid wages.
Later in the day, Mbappé's lawyer expressed that he was perplexed by the allegations, asserting that "a complaint does not make the truth; a complaint does not prove anything." She noted that it was unclear whether the complaint filed in Sweden was indeed related to Mbappé.
