NEW DELHI France’s national team coach Didier Deschamps announced on Thursday that Kylian Mbappe, the Real Madrid striker, would not be participating in the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Israel and Italy.
The national team captain’s absence marks his second consecutive omission from the French squad, following his non-selection for the October matches against Israel and Belgium.
When questioned about Mbappe’s exclusion, Deschamps remained vague about any potential injury concerns, despite the player’s recent Champions League appearance for his club on Tuesday.
The coach described it as a “one-off decision” whilst noting that Mbappe had expressed his desire to join the national team.
