Kylian Mbappé, a French player, was spotted training with his club Real Madrid on Tuesday, ahead of his return to work after a vacation to heal from injury.
His training session on Tuesday comes as allegations in Swedish media suggest he is being investigated for an alleged rape in Stockholm, where he visited last week.

Swedish network SVT said that Mbappé is’reasonably suspected’ of rape, citing papers it has seen.
Swedish authorities have stated that they are investigating an alleged rape in a Stockholm hotel, but have not divulged the suspect’s identify.
Mbappé has called the Swedish reports ‘fake news’, and his representatives have called them ‘completely false and irresponsible’.
In a social media post, Mbappé appeared to link the reports in Sweden to a hearing in the French capital on Tuesday in a legal dispute with former club Paris Saint Germain over unpaid pay.
Later Tuesday, Mbappé’s lawyer stated that the 25-year-old was perplexed by the reports, noting that ‘a complaint does not make the truth, a complaint does not establish anything’.
She also stated that she did not know whether the case filed in Sweden involved Mbappé or not.
