FC 26 Rivals/Champions disconnect caused by evolution

I have a 97 rated evolved Kylian Mbappé with the “Festival of Football: National Pride” rarity.

Whenever this card is included anywhere in my squad, Rivals and Champions matches fail to start properly. The match loads, but then immediately disconnects with the message:

“The connection to your opponent has been lost. We’ll check the match report to determine the result.”

I have tested this multiple times:

1. Mbappé in starting XI → disconnect •
2. Mbappé on the bench → disconnect •
3. Mbappé completely removed from the squad → match starts normally

So the issue appears to be linked specifically to this evolved player item.

Anyone knows what to do?
