Kylian Mbappe’s mother, Fayza Lamari, has dismissed rumours of a rift between her son and Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar.

Reports had emerged that Mbappe is unhappy that he still doesn’t hold a higher standing in the PSG dressing room.

Mbappe and Neymar also fell out during their 5-2 French Ligue 1 win over Montpellier last weekend, when the Brazilian took over penalty duties following Mbappe’s miss earlier during the encounter.

The France international, who signed a new bumper contract in the summer, also appeared to give up on a counterattack after not receiving a cross-field ball.

Reports have since surfaced of a dressing room split, but Mbappe’s mother has stated that the rumours have been greatly exaggerated.

She told Kora Sport (as per Le 10 Sport): “The situation has been resolved internally, and everything is perfect.”

Uganda head coach Paul Put has outlined three key areas his side must focus on to secure victory against Nigeria when both teams clash in Tuesday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie.

Put’s side must claim all three points against the Super Eagles or risk an early exit from the competition. The Cranes have just one point in Group C after their opening two matches.
A win against Nigeria could see Uganda qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

However, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Put said that for Uganda to overcome Eric Chelle’s side, they must “concentrate be very prepared and win their duels” against Nigeria.

“We have to go for it [win against Nigeria] and we will do it,” Put said.

“Nigerians play at a high level in Europe, so we have to be very concentrated, very prepared and win our duels, which is one of the strong points of Nigeria.”
