"Kylian is extraordinary. He’s mad."
Mbappe has been tipped to join Real Madrid next season, but he is unlikely to join France's Olympic team, who are coached by Henry.
"I haven't talked about it with Kylian yet. But what do you want me to tell him? 'Dear Kylian, will you fight with your club to come to the Olympics?'. I can't.
